Sirius Astronomy

Overview

Sirius Astronomy is a BIPOC and multiracial community for SAS and the general public. If you identify as BIPOC or multiracial we hope you can join in sometime and help nurture this new community!

We hope to have 1-2 events a quarter ranging from general space discussions, outreach, fun gatherings, stargazing opportunities, and whatever ideas people want to share.

Please check in on our events and please email us at sirius@seattleastro.org for more info or for finding ways to get involved! We started an instagram account too.

More Information

Sirius aims to spread the passion, beauty, and joy of Astronomy to the BIPOC community. We hope to build community with one another, build relationships with BIPOC leaders in astronomy, and ultimately provide outreach to BIPOC communities in our region.

Our tenets are:

1) Intention - to attract BIPOC community members of all ages through inspiring events that nurture a fun and safe space

2) Education - in the form of lectures, stargazing, and outreach with diverse communities

 

Why so Sirius?

Sirius, the brightest star in the night sky, has been known by some as the rainbow star, as it often flickers with many shades of color. The colors truly shine when you spot Sirius low on the horizon.
