Meeting Topics
The University Lowbrow Astronomers are an amateur astronomy club that meets once a month. Each month
has a different topic. In some months, professional astronomers are
invited to talk on a particular area. In other months, club members
will give a presentation. These pages list meeting topics for upcoming
meetings and past meetings.
