The Mt. Wilson Observatory Association is a volunteer support group for the Mt. Wilson Observatory. One of our main interests is in public education and enhancing the public's experience at the Observatory. To that end, we conduct a year-round calendar of free public lectures on topics related to the Observatory and to astronomy.
MWOA has now decided to hold all its monthly lectures at the Altadena Public Library, including the ones during the summer months. In another change, all MWOA lectures will now be held on the 4th SATURDAY of the month, not Sunday (budget cuts at the Library have forced them to be closed on Sundays). Refreshments are at 2:00pm; the lecture is at 2:30pm.
We have a special meeting and public lecture on the 4th Saturday in October at the Altadena Public Library. It is our Annual Membership Meeting where, in addition to the lecture, the President gives his "State of MWOA" report, an annual Treasurer's report is given, and members are elected to the Board of Directors. Refreshments are at 2:00pm; the meeting begins at 2:30pm.
No lecture is held in December due to Christmas.
