Astronomy Club

As a member of the NASA and Caltech Jet Propulsion Laboratory’s Night Sky Network, the mission of the Xavier Astronomy Club is to foster awareness of, and interest in, the field of astronomy. The club is a place to find information about recent scientific accomplishments and discoveries concerning our solar system and beyond. It is also a place to learn the basics of backyard astronomy, or stargazing. From club-sponsored observing sessions at school and teaching students “what’s up” in the night sky, to off-campus weekend visits to Wesleyan’s Van Vleck Observatory and Central Connecticut State University’s Copernican Observatory and Planetarium, the club aims to bring a love of the cosmos, and a love of citizen science in general, to the Xavier community.
