Community Outreach
WVAC works in partnership with libraries in the West Valley to organize daytime and evening viewing of objects in the sky. Our outreach program provides a fun, hands-on educational astronomy experience for our community. Our goal is to enhance the public’s understanding of the world above us, and to share the sense of fun and wonderment that astronomers enjoy.
