Each Month during the school year our club holds a general meeting open to both our members and guests (this will be our last in person meeting before the summer break).  We meet in the spacious Jenks High School Planetarium which has ample space for social distancing.  At our meetings you can enjoy presentations topics such as current space exploration, astronomical events and on occasion we get the opportunity to preview the latest planetarium production the students are working on. You also can learn more about past, present, and future club events and activities.    

On this month's agenda...

Does the movie, Project Hail Mary, have you thinking about finding friends beyond Earth’s atmosphere? Join us as our President, Jonathan Fussell, presents an upcoming publication exploring network reactions in the ocean of Saturn’s moon Enceladus and their role in the search for life beyond Earth. 

Jonathan is currently a graduate student at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University studying Space Operations and has spent over three  years in astrobiology research. He  plans to  continue this work by pursuing a PhD focused on characterizing exoplanet atmospheres as the search for life continues.

Also, a short program on what's in the night sky in the coming months presented by Brad Young.
