Outreach Activities
One of the missions of CAS is to increase the appreciation and knowledge of the science of astronomy within the community. It does this through presentations at its general meetings, hosting star parties, collaborating with other organizations to celebrate astronomy and Flagstaff’s dark skies, and engaging in other activities that promote interest and education in this exciting science. Below are examples of some of the outreach in which CAS has been involved. If you are interested in more information about our outreach activities, please contact us at info@coconinoastro.org.
