This is a reminder for our meeting this Saturday starting at 3:00 P.M. at Charlie Elliott Vistors Center. This month’s presentation was delayed in January and was intended to close the International Year of Astronomy. In addition, it is now 400 years ago that Galileo took his telescope and started looking in the sky. So it is appropriate that we will watch a presentation by William R. Shea of the University of Padua about Galileo. The presentation will shed some light on Galileo that is well known to us, but also clarify some of the political and economic issues of the time that shaped the history around Galileo. The forecast for Saturday evening is partly cloudy, so bring your scopes and we will brave the cold. …… at least for a while…
Clear Skies,
Theo Ramakers
