West Valley Astronomy Club: Meeting -The life of Edwin Hubble and his contributions to astronomy

Our meetings feature great Guest Speakers – distinguished astronomers, including staff astronomers from various observatories and professional astronomers at universities. A range of topics in space-science, astronomy and astrophysics are covered at the meetings and include discussion of technologies involved – cameras, spectroscopy and other instrumentation.

The agenda often has show-and-tell presentations by club members or small workshops, and normally includes updates on club activities and announcements. Coffee and cookies are available, and we generally have door prizes and a 50/50 Raffle.
