Introduction
The Dickinson College Astronomy Club was founded by Kelly McFarland '98 and  Emily Zamkoff '97 on February 5, 1997. Since its founding the Astronomy Club's main goal has been to teach people of the wonders of space and science. The club is strongly commited to the Dickinson and Carlisle communities.

The Astronomy Club uses a variety of techniques to teach others about the universe around us. Throughout the school year the club puts on a number of open houses and planetarium shows. They also participate in many volunteer activities further promoting astronomy related topics.

The club also goes on various trips including hikes followed by star gazing. The members also may visit various museums as a trip. Not only do they go on trips but they also enjoy various events such as Messier Marathons and Pi Day (3/14).

Blossomed the lovely stars, the forget-me-nots of the angels"
