United Astronomy Clubs of New Jersey, Inc. (UACNJ) was formed in 1988 as a networking group for New Jersey area amateur astronomy clubs. UACNJ itself is not a club, but a consortium of about a dozen astronomy clubs united to support, coordinate, and communicate ideas among the many individuals who make astronomy their hobby in and around the state.
UACNJ helps promote and support amateur astronomy in the New Jersey area by representing its Member Clubs with astronomical displays at major area events. UACNJ's presence has been seen at Rockland Astronomy Club's North East Astronomy Forum (NEAF) each spring and we host our own Astronomy Day and Family Astronomy Field Day each year. UACNJ has been providing free public programs every Saturday from April through October since 1994 at our facility in Jenny Jump State Forest. UACNJ also maintains this web site which provides information on Member Clubs and links directly to all their websites.
