Astronomical Society of the Pacific - Founded in 1889 by a group
of Northern California professional and amateur astronomers, the ASP has become the largest general astronomy society in the world, with members from
over 70 nations. The Society offers programs and activities for each unique part of our membership. Mercury magazine is published every other month
to keep our members abreast of developments in astronomy. Our online (as well as mail-order) catalog offers something for everyone - from schoolchildren
to scientists - distributing engaging and enlightening materials for both home and classroom. The ASP's Annual Meeting moves from city to city around
the U.S., bringing a weekend astronomy expo, teachers' workshops, and scientific symposia to a new audience each year. To keep up with the most recent
discoveries, anyone can phone the ASP hotline at 415/337-1100 ext.6 for updates on late-breaking astronomy news.
