Atlanta Astronomy Club Event Calendar from the Night Sky Network

Join the Night Sky Network!

Posted on June 21st, 2011 by dherron

All current members of the Atlanta Astronomy Club are invited to join the Night Sky Network. The Night Sky Network is a nationwide coalition of amateur astronomy clubs bringing the science, technology, and inspiration of NASA’s missions to the general public.

You can use the Night Sky Network as a resource to locate astro events around the country, download handouts, presentations, hands on learning tools etc, and see what other clubs are up to.

Joining the network will allow you to get reminders of upcoming events which may interest you (if you want to, you can always opt out of the reminders during signup).

Join the network now!
