Astronomy Club

Officially registered as the Astronomy Club, the registered student organization functions in conjunction with the Physics Club to provide science students with a place that combines all their interests. Students are trained to use the planetarium and present research to fellow colleagues. This year, the club raised enough money from selling physics lab manuals to fund a scholarship to GCSU.
Currently, the club is working on a trebuchet that it will test at an airfield upon completion and setting up a place for students to view the upcoming meteor shower. The club often hosts physics movie nights in the planetarium provided with pizza.
"The people get my sense of humor here. It's great to collaborate with the other science majors and just have fun. Plus there's pizza!"

Watch out for the
Leonid meteor shower Nov. 17!
Astronomy Club meets
Fridays at noon in Herty Hall Room 137
