Sirius aims to spread the passion, beauty, and joy of Astronomy to the BIPOC community. We hope to build community with one another, build relationships with BIPOC leaders in astronomy, and ultimately provide outreach to BIPOC communities in our region.
Our tenets are:
1) Intention - to attract BIPOC community members of all ages through inspiring events that nurture a fun and safe space
2) Education - in the form of lectures, stargazing, and outreach with diverse communities
Why so Sirius?
Sirius, the brightest star in the night sky, has been known by some as the rainbow star, as it often flickers with many shades of color. The colors truly shine when you spot Sirius low on the horizon.
