Westchester Amateur Astronomers hosts a lecture meeting on the second Friday of every month from September to June.  These lectures take place in the David Pecker Conference Room in Wilcox Hall at Pace University in Pleasantville, NY.  Our lectures officially start at 7:30 PM, but we encourage attendees to arrive starting at 7:00 PM for pre-lecture socializing.  We begin with a brief presentation of club updates and what you can expect to see in the sky for the next month, and then we introduce our main speaker for the evening.  Past WAA speakers have included WAA members, NASA Solar System Ambassadors, as well as engineers, scientists, and professors from prestigious institutions.  Past topics have included the International Space Station, black holes, astrophotography, weather on other planets, and space volcanoes!  

 

WAA encourages attending in-person, but we also stream our lectures via Zoom for those who wish to attend virtually.  A Zoom link for the lecture can be found in the details for the lecture on our Events page.

​

WAA lectures are recorded and are posted to our YouTube channel when the speaker allows.  To view recordings of past WAA lectures, please visit our YouTube page.
