Moon rocks on display this Saturday at astronomy presentation, pot luck dinner, and viewing at CE Wildlife Center

Thanks to the efforts of CE chapter membr and Oxford College astronomy instructor Jim Honeycutt, Moon dust and rocks brought back to Earth by astronauts from Apollo missions 15, 16 and 17 will be on display as part of the program this Saturday, March 28, at 4 p.m. by the Charlie Elliott chapter of the Atlanta Astronomy Club. Astronomy and physics instructor Fred Buls of the Clarkston Campus of Georgia Perimeter College, will talk about “radiometric dating”, a technique scientists use to determine with great accuracy the age of our solar system and even the universe itself.

The program is free, open to all and starts at 4 p.m. at the CE Wildlife Visitor Center with a potluck dinner being served; Mr. Buls’ program begins immediately afterwards. His program will be geared to the general public and will include a number of graphics and visual aids to better illustrate what certainly seems too complicated for the average Joe.

The CE chapter of the Atlanta Astronomy Club is open to all persons and meets monthly at the CE Wildlife Visitors Center. More info online at http://ceastronomy.org, or contact Ken Poshedly at 678-516-1366; e-mail to poshedly@bellsouth.net.
