Astronomical Society
Why not chase distant light in the pitch-black sky?
The Astronomy Research Group (commonly known as the Astronomy Club) is a club whose main purpose is to observe the starry sky.
We usually meet twice a week, on Tuesday and Friday evenings at 9:30 p.m. in a prefab space on the Yamakoshi grounds. At the meeting, after informing each other about our activities, we observe with telescopes and take astrophotographs.
Other activities include a meteor shower observation party, a viewing party at the Kuma Kogen Observatory in Ehime, and a planetarium viewing party at the Ehime Prefectural Museum of General Science.
We also show planetariums at student festivals and regularly hold joint camps with astronomy clubs from other universities.
