USD Stargazing Club

Hi Stargazers,

This page is scheduled for deletion in 1.5 weeks. There were no incoming officers and so the club is currently non-existant. If you would like to keep the club at USD, please see Mr. Skelton. If you happen to arrange new officers within the next 1.5 weeks, comment on this post and I (admin) will hand the page off to you. Otherwise..

Happy Stargazing off screen. 🖤🌌

If you only see one astronomical event this year, make it the November supermoon, when the Moon will be the closest to Earth it’s been since January 1948.

Where would YOU like to go to stargaze this semester? ^_^

Urban lights have encroached on the county's dark skies since the mid-20th Century, but there are still a lot of stars to gaze at -- enough that some locales are home to astro-tourism businesses.

Stargazers,

First, we'd like to apologize for the hiatus that this club has taken. We realize that this semester was lacking in cool space things to do, and we didn't help remedy that black hole in our hearts.

We, Lennie Macias and Anh Le, will be stepping down as the executives of this club. Don't worry, we will still be involved at meetings and events because we love what this organization stands for. Luckily, we have found some outstanding people to replace us and move this club to even greater heights.

With that, please support Paola Carrasco and Leah Wargo as they take leadership of USD's Astronomy Club in the 2016-2017 school year!

NASA teased us last week with the promise of a “major science finding” regarding our planetary neighbor, Mars. Today they delivered news of an exciting discovery – and no it’s not Mark Watney or even little green men. Using data collected by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO), scientists have det…
