Welcome!
Welcome to the official website of the Tulare Astronomical Association. The TAA provides astronomy education and appreciation of the night sky to the public. We serve the citizens of Tulare County. We hold monthly observing sessions in conjunction with the Tulare County Office of Education at the Peña Planetarium in Visalia. Attendees get to see a planetarium show and then go outside to observe first-hand the wonders of the night sky. We also hold public star parties for the Sequoia Riverlands Trust at the Dry Creek Preserve. We hope that you will join us in our astronomical journeys.
