The club is student run and this year’s president is senior Caitlyn Voige.  The club isn’t a big commitment as it only come meets on Mondays at lunch for about an hour in room 417 to discuss topics of interests such as archeoastronomy, the origin of the universe, the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, and stellar distances. They have also built a scale model of the solar system.

The club offers in-depth conversations about the universe and offers more content on astronomy than the average science class. The club hopes to have telescopic observations, visit the USAFA Observatory, and visit the Space Foundation.
