Astronomy Club of Tulsa

About Our Club Events

Each month we try to schedule observing opportunities at our dark sky site SW of Tulsa. We schedule a Guest and Members Night the weekend near the 3rd quarter moon. Our Members Only Night occurs on the weekend nearest the New Moon, allowing our members to have time to work on observing projects and exchange ideas with each other. Scroll down to see the schedule of coming events.

During the school term we also have monthly In Person club meetings at the Jenks High School planetarium.

Wanting to get away from the glow of city lights and enjoy some stargazing?

Autumn Equinox, Harvest Moon, Partial Lunar Eclipse & more

Partial Lunar Eclipse of the Harvest Super Moon Tuesday Sept 17

On Tuesday evening Sept 17, 2024 the full Harvest moon will undergo a partial eclipse. The top edge of the moon will pass through the edge of Earth’s shadow. The Earth’s inner shadow called the Umbra will first begin to touch the top of the moon at 9:12 PM CDT Maximum at 9:44 and end at 10:17 PM CDT Only about 9% of the earth’s shadow will cover the moon. The shadow will be most obvious from about 9:30 to 10:00. Look for a small “nibble bite” near the top of the moon at about the 11 O’clock position
