Tallahassee Astronomical Society
About Us
NOTE ABOUT EVENT REQUESTS AND WEATHER: Please be aware that TAS offers viewing of the night sky or solar through our telescopes, and TAS may cancel or postpone event participation if weather condtions are unsuitable for observing. For general STEM or weather-independent science-based events, please consider contacting the Challenger Learning Center (CLS) at www.challengertlh.com
The Tallahassee Astronomical Society's (TAS) mission is to share the experience of viewing the starry sky with others, reduce light pollution, and foster understanding of science through astronomy.
We are a society of amateur astronomers eager to share our love of the night sky with others. We provide public outreach about astronomy through observing the night sky, encourage each other in observing, and support community efforts to encourage astronomy, such as the Library Telescope program.

TAS welcomes anyone interested in astronomy, regardless of your age, income, experience level, or any other conditions! If you’re breathing and are interested in the night sky, get in touch!
Our club sponsors sidewalk observing at Cascades Park during the quarter moon, and we have a dark sky observatory with a GoTo telescope for use by our club members. We meet the 3rd Monday of every month at the Challenger Learning Center (200 S. Duval Street, Tallahassee), but check the calendar to be sure before you show up!
