This Month: Physics teacher and Chilean Astronomy Ambassador, Luke Finley
Astronomy in Chile, Home of the Giants!
Chile hosts half of the world's largest terrestrial telescopes, with some of the driest, clearest skies on Earth and a zenith view of our Milky Way's core, making it a global hub for astronomy.
In this presentation, Luke Finley, Physics Teacher and Ambassador for the
Astronomy in Chile Educator Ambassadors Program (ACEAP), will share highlights from his recent trip to Chile. He'll take us on a tour of some of astronomy's giants, like the the Vera C. Rubin Observatory, the Atacama Large Millimeter Array, the Gemini South Telescope, and more!

What is a star party?
BSAS members bring and set up telescopes and information at local parks, everyone is invited to come and enjoy the view! Free, open of everyone of any age. These are usually weather permitting, so check back to see if we are still on if it's cloudy or threatening rain.
In honor of the 90th anniversary of BSAS, we partnered with Hatch Show Print to create a unique, limited-run poster! A great gift for anyone interested in astronomy.
