We are an observational astronomy research group that observes asteroids in our Solar System as they pass in front of distant stars (this event is called an "occultation"). These observations are critical for nailing down the precise locations of asteroids, as well as determining asteroid shapes and sizes. This is an exciting field of research, and is necessary for space missions (e.g., the NASA Lucy mission) that are heading to visit asteroids. We are a hands-on, observational astronomy group; we set up small, portable telescopes to observe occultations, and we analyze our data and submit to researchers. We primarily observe in the local area, but occasionally we travel for more important occultations. In the past, members have participated in campaigns in North Carolina, Australia, Kansas, Mexico, and New York to observe NASA mission targets.
The Philosophy Club at UVA is the undergraduate philosophy club at UVA. Our mission is to create a community of philosophers, promote philosophy, and help facilitate further engagement between faculty and students in the philosophy department. We seek to create an environment where all interested in philosophy, regardless of prior experience, can meet and explore ideas together. To accomplish this, we hold several meetings every semester in the Philosophy Library. In these meetings, we cover a wide variety of topics that span all branches of philosophy. In addition to this, we hope to promote philosophy to those that may have not otherwise encountered this soul nourishing study. We intend to do this through community outreach within and beyond grounds. Lastly, we hope to involve willing faculty and graduate students form the Corcoran Department of Philosophy to participate in club meetings. This provides a special opportunity to all of those involved to interact with philosophy faculty and graduate students in a forum that is distinct from the classroom.
