This year marks the 50th anniversary of the landing of Vikings 1 and 2 on Mars. For this Friday’s presentation we will look back on these first successful landings and how we shall return, this time to stay. Also we will include current and future explorations of the red planet. And talk to members of AAI who are always willing to share their knowledge of astronomy.

And learn about Amateur Astronomers, Inc. the Astronomy club that makes its home at Sperry Observatory located on the campus of Union College in Cranford, NJ and how you can join. And, weather permitting, we will do observing through our 2 large telescopes, a 24 inch reflector and a 10 inch refractor.

Amateur Astronomers, Inc. (also known as AAI), is 76 years young and still going strong!

Sperry Observatory is open to the public  every Friday night from 7:30 pm - 10:30 pm. See below for the weekly presentations, times and locations.
