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.

Wanting to get away from the glow of city lights and enjoy some stargazing?

We invite you to make a visit to our Observatory located in darker skies

Four Planets "Parade" across our January skies.

Starting in the SW look for VENUS shining brightly as our evening star.

Look for it as the “First Star” of evening soon after sunset.

Moving a bit higher and east look for SATURN. Venus and Saturn will pass

within 3 degrees of each other Jan 15 to 20. Turning your gaze high in the East

look for the bright planet JUPITER. Finally look for reddish MARS rising in the NE.

Mars is closest to Earth this January making for the best viewing opportunities
