Amateur Astronomers Association of Princeton celebrates 50th anniversary

May 13, 2013 By

The Amateur Astronomers Association of Princeton is celebrating its 50th anniversary. AAAP promotes the joy of astronomy to the residents of Mercer County through monthly lectures, outreach to local schools and Friday-night observing sessions at Simpson Observatory in Washington-Crossing State Park.

To commemorate their 50th anniversary, AAAP will hold a program on May 11th, at the Institute for Advanced Studies in Princeton. The program entitled “Celebrating the Past, Inspiring the Future” will begin with a dinner and awards ceremony. The public is invited to a free panel discussion in Wolfensohn Hall at 7:30pm.

Prominent scientists such as IAS physicist, mathematician and long-time AAAP member Freeman Dyson, Princeton astrophysicists David Spergel and J. Richard Gott, and Harvard astronomer Lisa Kaltenegger will consider “Is Anyone Else Out There?”

AAAP anticipates an engrossing discussion about the current research in astronomy and exobiology, and the possibilities of finding life elsewhere in the Solar System, maybe within our lifetime.

If skies are clear, the evening will conclude with an observing party hosted by members of AAAP on the grounds of the IAS at 9:00pm. AAAP members will thrill the public with views through their telescopes of places where life may be found: the moons of Jupiter and Saturn.
