The Organization

The chief enterprise of the Rutgers Astronomical Society involves uniting those who are fascinated with the vastness of space and are interested in discussing and observing the cosmos. The organization endeavors to make astronomy accessible for anyone with even the slightest interest by providing viewing opportunities, informative seminars, academic collaboration, and more. Our club is run by undergraduate students who are motivated in providing the best experience for both visitors and members alike. We host weekly public observing nights weather permitting.

In addition, we wish to provide a unique and fun experience for our members by teaching, accomplishing projects using the equipment we have available to us, and establishing a tight-knit community with people from a range of backgrounds. Fall 2023 marked the creation of our Astrophotography group, where students meet to learn how to take astrophotography with out telescopes, relevant software, and can capture the cosmos on camera!

Public Observing Nights are back! We welcome everyone and anyone from the surrounding communities to join us for PUBLIC OBSERVING at 8:30 pm on Thursday Nights. Meetings are held in Serin 330 at 8:30 pm.
