Monthly Public Meetings and Talks

banner

We offer monthly free public talks on wide variety of topics related to space, technology, space sciences, astronomy, and book lectures typically first Thursday of the month from 7 to 9 pm at Huntsville-Madison County Main Public Library's (915 Monroe Street) main auditorium. We have been offering public lectures since our founding. Our meetings showcase the subject matters experts and talents in this region. It also provides a great opportunity for the audience to engage with the speaker through questions and answers, and one-on-one interactions.

Programming is typically scheduled 3 to 4 months in advance. This allows us to get the words out to you all, and to coordinate with other societies who might be intersted in the talks. On occasions, we will have a joint event with USSRC's Pass the Torch series if we have very special topic or needed a much large forum. A listing of our past programs, along with highlight of our activities can be found here. If you are interested in speaking to us, you can or speak to one of the officers at our meeting.
