Are you interested in Mars? Do you think there is or was life on Mars? Humanity is fascinated with the possibility of finding life on Mars. It is known that Mars was once more earthlike, and there are tantalizing clues that water may still exist there. Theories even suggest that life travelled from Mars and seeded the Earth. Join us in person in the Roy Smith Theatre this Friday, January 16 to hear about this fascinating topic. And talk to members of AAI who are always willing to share their knowledge of astronomy

Following the presentation join us back at the Observatory for observing, weather permitting, and refreshments.

And learn about Amateur Astronomers, Inc. the Astronomy club that makes its home at Sperry Observatory located on the campus of Union College in Cranford, NJ and how you can join. And, weather permitting, we will do observing through our 2 large telescopes, a 24 inch reflector and a 10 inch refractor.

Amateur Astronomers, Inc. (also known as AAI), is 76 years young and still going strong!
