Meteoriyhdistys

Meteoriyhdistys is the Finnish Astronomical Association, a national organization dedicated to promoting amateur astronomy in Finland. Founded in 1987, it serves as a central hub for individuals and local astronomy clubs across the country interested in observing the night sky, learning about celestial phenomena, and sharing their passion.

The association organizes various activities throughout the year, including public stargazing events, lectures, workshops, and annual conferences. These events aim to educate members and the public about astronomy, encourage scientific curiosity, and foster a sense of community among amateur astronomers. Meteoriyhdistys also publishes a regular magazine, providing news, articles, and observation tips relevant to the Finnish astronomical community.

Membership in Meteoriyhdistys is open to anyone with an interest in astronomy, regardless of their level of experience. The association plays a vital role in making astronomy accessible to a wider audience in Finland, supporting both novice observers and more experienced enthusiasts. They are also involved in citizen science projects and advocating for the preservation of dark skies in Finland.
