The Analemma Society operates exclusively for educational and scientific purposes. We seek to develop awareness, appreciation, and understanding of science through astronomy for children and adults, develop programs of observation, measurement, calculation, and interpretation of astronomy within local educational institutions and work to further develop existing educational programs, to design and erect means of detecting the motions of the Earth, Moon, planets and stars in Observatory Park, Turner Farm, part of the Fairfax County Park Authority, and develop a heightened degree of awareness of the motions of these celestial bodies in the solar system.
