Monthly Meetings
BAS monthly meetings are held on the third Wednesday of each month at the BCC Planetarium and Observatory in Cocoa, FL. Meetings begin at 7:00 pm and are conducted inside the Planetarium. Our meetings are both informative and enjoyable, with a mix of informal discussions of recent observing sessions, which sky objects are currently viewable, and structured presentations by a featured speaker on an interesting topic related to astronomy. Recent BAS presentations are available for download here. Visitors are always welcome to attend! Please see the events calendar for the date of the next meeting. The address is:
