We are a diverse group of amateur astronomers, ranging from amateur telescope makers to professional rocket scientists (really!). Some of us just like to read, while others like to get out and observe or photograph the heavens. The bottom line is that we all have a more than casual interest in astronomy.
We cooperate with the University of Michigan, but are not a formal part of the university, which means you don’t have to be in the UofM to join! See the Membership Joining/Renewing page for information on joining!
Whether you are a novice or a seasoned veteran, we hope that you will find us to be friendly, knowledgeable, and fun to be with.
The University Lowbrow Astronomers are an Internal Revenue Code (IRC) 501(c)(7) “Social Club” organization. While the Lowbrows do not make a profit, in the eyes of the IRS we are NOT a not-for-profit organization. This means that donations to us ARE NOT tax-deductible.
