The society works in conjunction with the physics department to maintain the Hirsch Observatory atop the Science Center. Students are trained in the use of the Society's various telescopes, then placed on the observatory key list. Once on the key list, members can use the observatory any time. To learn more about the RAS visit our archives page . The Society holds monthly meetings to discuss issues such as the purchase of new equipment, plan events such as field trips and star parties, and discuss various topics of astronomy and astrophysics.
All students are welcome, regardless of major or year.
