Latest efforts of the team have actually been concentrated on exploring the interactions between stars in adjustable binary systems.The Astrochemistry Club was actually formed by nearby amateur stargazers and also finds to educate, discover and broaden minds about space as well as our cosmos. Lectures or even star events are actually held monthly.
