Physics and Space Sciences

Astronomy and Astrophysics Public Lecture Series

In our monthly Astronomy & Astrophysics Public Lecture Series we host an evening lecture on a topic of general interest in astronomy in the auditorium Olin Engineering Complex (room EC 118, see map below) on the 4th Friday of each month during the academic year. The lectures are at 8 p.m., and are followed by a public viewing session at the new campus observatory on the roof of the Olin Physical Sciences Building (weather permitting).

Want even more astronomy?

We now have the Melbourne Astronomical Society for local-area amateur astronomers (including students) to meet, discuss science and equipment, tips and techniques. If you'd like to join us for monthly meetings and meet other local-area amateur astronomers, please sign up for the MAS mailing list. We're meeting on the same nights as the Lecture Series at 6:30 p.m. in the Physical Sciences building room 202 (the conference room).
