Upcoming Astronomy Events

As a service to our community, Sky & Telescope lists astronomy-related events, including star parties, observatory public nights, astronomy talks, and more. Star parties offer dark skies and astronomical fellowship and often cater to families and feature special activities for kids. Public nights give the general public a chance to view the sky through large telescopes, and public talks are a great place to learn the fundamentals of the science and the craft.
You’ll also see online events offered here.
And if you’d like free copies of Sky & Telescope‘s Let’s Go Stargazing flyer or door prizes for your next star party, you can fill out this form.

AAVSO "Superstar Astronomers" with Dr. Jocelyn Bell Burnell

April 23, 2022 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm EDT

Webinar featuring guest astronomer Dr. Jocelyn Bell Burnell and "The discovery of pulsars – a graduate student’s tale." Dr. Burnell will describe how pulsars were accidentally discovered and relate some instances where they were 'nearly' discovered.

Dr. Burnell inadvertently discovered pulsars as a graduate student in radio astronomy in Cambridge, opening up a new branch of astrophysics--work recognised by the award of a Nobel Prize to her supervisor. Dr. Burnell is now a Visiting Academic in Oxford, and the Chancellor of the University of Dundee, Scotland.
