HPAA

The name ‘hot pot’ originates from 2017 CalStar in Whisper Caynon, where we cooked Chinese hot pot under the stars. The universe was born in a hot dense soup, and we believe the sky with all kinds of galaxies/nebulae/stars is just like the hot pot with different food inside. We came to the idea of naming our club as ‘Hot Pot Astronomical Association’ (HPAA).

火锅天文协会(HPAA)，是旧金山湾区的一个华人天文爱好者组织。宇宙诞生于一团热汤之中，就好像我们的火锅。我们在加州黑暗的天空下，抬头看宇宙，低头吃火锅，享受天文，享受生活。
