BYU Astronomical Society

Hey Spacefans!

Our final event for the semester will be a movie night this Friday at 5pm in ESC C215.

We will have some delicious pizza, watch Hidden Figures, and the Stephens will be able to talk about and answer questions about working at NASA and their research.

Come relax with us and enjoy a break from the stress of the end of the semester! Or, bring your laptop and punch away at a project with some pizza and the movie in the background.

See you there!

Even if you decided to stay in Provo, you can still view a partial solar eclipse on Monday, April 8! The Sun will go from 0% to 50% to 0% eclipsed around 11:30, 12:30, and 1:30 local time. The BYU Astronomical Society will have (safe!) solar telescopes and other tools at the main entrance to the Eyring Science Center from 10:30-12:30. Come by and see!

We are going to Clark Planetarium this Saturday to watch a planetarium show on the Birth of Planet Earth. Join us at the ESC at 1pm for the Frontrunner.
