Welcome to the University Astronomy Club Homepage

Formerly the University of Utah Astronomical Society, the UAC has reformed and taken over the skies above the U of U. Our new goals are to provide education and fun in astronomy to those whom are interested and help spread knowledge of astronomy throughout Salt Lake. The club is open to any person willing to join. There are no fees for students but we ask for a yearly donation of $10 for non-students to help fund activities for the club. If you are interested in joining, please email us at uofuastronomyclub@hotmail.com to become a member or for more information.

Club activities include:

Learning the sky
Public star/solar parties
Club star/solar parties
Instruction for telescope use
Astrophotography
Lectures by U professors
Travelling star parties
Star/Solar parties for local schools
Clark Planetarium trips
Stansbury Park trips
And much more!

Meetings are held once a month on Wednesdays. Everybody is welcome to attend but we encourage membership. The meeting will be followed by a public star party which is also open for those participating in the meeting to attend. Meeting space and dates are subject to change so check the calendar for updates. Guest speakers or professors may accompany the meeting and these will be scheduled as available. Check the calendar for this scheduling as well.
