The Rio Rancho Astronomical Society began in 1998 as an astronomy
club with Rio Rancho High School. Soon after its founding the
club expanded to become an public club, independent of the high
school. Over the years, we have grown and expanded, with new
members coming and going, to the current public club we are today.
We are open to all types of members, from beginning astronomers to
seasoned veterans. And no, you don't need to be a master
observer or even own a telescope to join. All you need are a
good pair of eyes and willingness to learn.
