LECTURE SERIES:

Every year we provide our membership with a stimulating and entertaining lecture series. We draw on professional astronomers from local observatories and colleges, amateurs from around the valley, and occasionally our own membership.

Lecture meetings are open to anyone interested in learning more about astronomy.
Our meetings are usually held on the 2nd or 3rd Wednesday of each month, September through May, excluding December.
We meet in Classroom #2 at the North Valley Regional Library, in Anthem, AZ. Get your maps HERE.
Doors open at 6:00 - 6:15 pm.
The meetings begin between 6:30-6:45 pm, with no more than 15 minutes of club business.
Lectures run until 8:30 - 8:45 pm, including Q&A. The Library closes at 9:00 pm sharp.
