Astronomy Club of Tulsa

About Our Club Events

Each month we try to schedule observing opportunities at our dark sky site SW of Tulsa. We schedule a Guest and Members Night the weekend near the 3rd quarter moon. Our Members Only Night occurs on the weekend nearest the New Moon, allowing our members to have time to work on observing projects and exchange ideas with each other. Scroll down to see the schedule of coming events.

During the school term we also have monthly In Person club meetings at the Jenks High School planetarium.

February Evening Planet "Parade"

Social Media has been "A Buzz" about a planet "alignment." During February four naked eye planets are all visible in the evening sky. They are spread across a long arc from SW to East. You don’t need dark sky or special instruments to see Saturn, Venus, Jupiter and Mars. They will be visible any clear night until late February but will shift further toward the west as the month progresses. In early February the Moon will also be travelling along this arc of planets - Passing Venus Feb.1, Jupiter Feb. 6 and Mars Feb. 9 Follow this link February 2025 Evening Planet Parade to see images and more details.
