Founded 1947
We are open to all levels of interest from beginners to professionals, from students to retirees.
November 15th- 3pm, the cottage at Lost Corner Preserve
Guest speaker: Madeline Davis, PhD student, GSU
Join us as Madeline poses the question of whether there is "Life in our solar system?"
Life on Earth started as a warm soup of elements that had all of the right conditions, and these perfect conditions existed long enough for life to form on planet Earth.
Was this just chance or could these same processes be happening elsewhere?
Madeline will explore our understanding of where life could possibly exist in our solar system. Everyone is welcome!
Meetings for the Atlanta Astronomy Club are held at:

The Atlanta Astronomy Club invites members to special events throughout the year.
Watch for our beginner sessions and public stargazing events in partnership with Sandy Springs Recreation & Parks, Piedmont Park Conservancy and the City of Dunwoody.
The Peach State Star Gaze (known fondly as The PSSG) is a week long star party held at the Deerlick Astronomy Village, home of the darkest skies in southeast Georgia.
In the spring the club holds a no-frills star party called the "Zombie Party" to coincide with the annual Messier marathon. Plan for little sleep during this weekend of observing.
If you are joining for the first time, please tell us a bit about yourself.
