Welcome to the Cache Valley Stargazers!  The Cache Valley Stargazers are a community based astronomy club for the people of Cache Valley and northern Utah.  We have monthly meetings in Logan, Utah, get together for occasional stargazing, and are happy to share our love of the night sky with everyone.  If you or someone in your family is interested in astronomy, please join us!

Here in our little corner of the web you will find the latest info about our club meetings and activities, as well as links to sites for getting started in astronomy, and the latest astronomical news.

If you can't find what you are looking for, or have questions about the club, please drop us an email:  cache.stargazers@gmail.com

NEXT MEETING

  • Friday, 12 February 2010
  • 7:30pm – 9:00pm
  • Utah State University, Science Engineering Research (SER) Building, Room 244
  • Parking in lot just west of Performance Hall.
  • Talk: BLACK HOLES, Jeff Hazboun (USU)
Despite the fact that you can't see one in your telescope, black holes can be detected by the effects they have on other objects.  They have become an integral part of modern astronomy and astrophysics.  In this talk, Jeff will discuss how we know what we know about black holes, and what modern science thinks about their character and behaviour.  

If you have an interest in astronomy, please join us, whether you're an absolute novice, or an advanced amateur.  Families and children interested in astronomy are welcome!
