Citizen Science and Near Earth Object Detection
Join us on Saturday, January 17th, 2026 at 3:30 pm at the Campbell Aquatics Building when Dennis Ruzeski will join us to talk about sky surveys and the role they play in Near Earth Object detection and how you can get involved! Dennis will cover the different sky surveys and demo the Bortle Combat Astro NEO Detection Survey and explain how you can contribute to the effort with your own images, contribute to real science with your imaging sessions, and maybe even discover a new NEO.
Charlie Elliott Astronomy is a welcoming group of observers and imagers from all walks of life. Check out some of the images from our members and friends from 2025 in the Charlie Elliott Astronomy Image of the Month Gallery!
