SUNSET: 
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.
Virtual VLA Tour - Women's History Month
March 26, 2022 @ 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm MDT
Ruby Payne-Scott, the first female radio astronomer, made essential contributions to the field of radio astronomy during her time at the Radiophysics Laboratory of the Australian government’s Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO). From working on radar during World War II to confirming that sunspots create intense radio bursts, Payne-Scott was instrumental in the birth of radio interferometry and her legacy remains an inspiration to women in radio astronomy today. Join us for a virtual tour of the VLA followed by conversation with Payne-Scott’s biographer and a panel of women currently working at NRAO.
Registration is required.
