Astronomy Society

A group of enthusiastic amateur astronomers from all over the university, anyone is welcome regardless of course and prior experience!

Welcome to our SUSU page! We are a group of amateur astronomers who love to go observing on Southampton Common. We welcome anyone from any course; even if you have no experience with astronomy. Why not come along and join us!

When we are graced with clear skies, we meet in the lobby of Building 46 (Physics), before walking over to the Common as a group to take a look through our society's telescopes. Our observation targets vary with the time of year and conditions, so keep an eye on our socials for updates on what you can expect to see with us!

With astronomy being heavily weather-dependant, our cloudy sky plans include talks and presentations on space-related topics, board game and movie nights, and other social events for both drinkers and non-drinkers.

Below are some pictures of our society in action - including our recent trip to Greenwich Observatory and some photos taken by our members!
