Next Meeting Presentation

Exploring and sharing the wonders of astronomy in the Asheville, NC region since 1981

Next Gathering

3 Dec 2026 – Club Holiday Social — Thursday night, 6:00 – 8:30 p.m.

There is no January meeting or presentation.

This free speaker presentation will be offered both in-person in the Mannheimer Room at the lower level of the UNC-Asheville Reuter Center and virtually online. Registration is not required; use this Zoom link to watch the presentation remotely.

The November speaker will join us virtually from another location. Watch his presentation in person in the Mannheimer Room at the lower level of the UNC-Asheville Reuter Center. We hope to offer remote viewing, too.

Although parking is free for this event at the UNC-Asheville Reuter Center, you must register your vehicle with a “Visitor 5pm – 6am” permit type at this link. Once registration is complete, visitors will not need to print or display a permit; the system utilizes camera-based License Plate Recognition technology. All vehicles must park front-end in, so that the license plate is visible.

Join the winter festivities for good cheer, a potluck supper, and many astronomy-themed door prizes. Rumor has it that our scope wizard is saving something special for the grand raffle prize! We’ll also present the Astrophotography Awards and congratulate the recipient of the Carolyn Keefe Scholarship.

The beautiful Astronomy Club of Asheville 2027 Calendar will be available for purchase.

This Guest Speaker Series Event is a collaboration between the Astronomy Club of Asheville and UNC-Asheville.
