General Meetings

The University Lowbrow Astronomers meet on the 3rd Friday of each month at 7:30PM, unless otherwise indicated, in the main conference room at the historic Detroit Observatory on the campus of the University of Michigan, in Ann Arbor [Map to the Detroit Observatory]. (The July meetings are usually held on the campus of Eastern Michigan University). Meetings include a guest speaker on various Astronomy/Space topic.  Per tradition, after each meeting we adjourn to the nearby Pizza House for food and camaraderie.
