In 1972, Minneapolis-based E&W Optical Company was a haven for Twin Cities amateur astronomers seeking advice, optics for their projects or for commercially produced telescopes, and accessories.
That year, then-president of the 3M Club Astronomical Society, Jim Fox, placed a poster at E&W suggesting that the creation of an amateur astronomy cloud may be a good idea. A dozen potential members attended an organizing meeting in November of 1972 at the Science Museum of Minnesota. The Twin City Astronomy Club was born.
From this humble beginning grew the Minnesota Astronomical Society. Today, more than 50 years later, the MAS is one of the largest and most active amateur astronomy organizations in the United States.
The MAS will always be an accepting place for all members of the community. We appreciate diversity in our community and welcome everyone.
