If you want to keep up with the space program, learn what's happening at the frontiers of astronomical research, or just appreciate the beauty of the night sky, we can help. We sponsor lectures at the American Museum of Natural Hi

story by leading researchers, provide economical classes in astronomy to members, and hold a seminar on Recent Advances in Astronomy once a month at New York University. We also host observing sessions at several locations in the New York Metropolitan Area. Stop by and look through members' telescopes. If you're thinking of getting a telescope or binoculars, you can get advice from experienced stargazers. The Club's events for this month are listed on the calendar. We hope you will attend some of them. We produce a monthly newsletter, Eyepiece, containing several articles of interest. Be sure to take a look at some of our members' photos and articles. You may also follow us on Instagram at , and our astrophotography page at .

“We are seeing material shed near the end of a star’s life being broken apart and returned to the galaxy,” says team lead Pieter van Dokkum (Yale University). “Far in the future, the Sun will go through a broadly similar process, and its material will enter the same cycle.”

The star at the heart of the oft-observed Helix Nebula powered a clumpy wind before it died. Now, new images capture these clumps’ dissolution into the space between stars.
