About Us
The Michiana Astronomical Society, founded in 1974, is a group of
individuals from the South Bend/Mishawaka area who share a common interest in astronomy. Our meetings take place on the third
Monday of each month at 7:00 PM at the
Mishawaka Public Library. Meetings are held in the Lions room. The meetings are open to the public and new members are always
welcome. For our extraterrestrial visitors that's: Latitude 41.6608 North,
Longitude 86.1783 West
During the warmer months, the Michiana Astronomical Society presents star
parties. These star parties are a wonderful way of introducing the joy and
wonders of astronomy to you and/or your family. At each star party there is
an opportunity to ask questions and view the sky through various telescopes.
Members also meet monthly on the weekend before the new Moon at one of
our group's dark sky observing sites. These dark, moonless nights and
remote locations provide a great opportunity to observe dim celestial
wonders such as galaxies, nebula and star clusters.
If you are interested in learning more about our group, please join us at
one of our monthly meetings or
contact us. Our address is:
Michiana Astronomical Society
PO Box 262
South Bend, Indiana 46624
