Meeting Details

Feature Presentation: “Philosophy of Astronomy”
Our feature presentation this month will be a presentation by Larry Owens.
“Human spaceflight has long been the dream of mankind. As we enter our 48th year as a space fairing civilization, only a select few have had the opportunity to experience space travel. These lucky few often speak of how profound and life changing this experience can be.

Of course, space travel for the masses is many years in the future, but is there a way we can have this profound experience from Earth? Amateur astronomers have the tools! Find out how with Larry Owens as he presents The Philosophy of Astronomy.”

Place: Charlie Elliott Wildlife Center, Visitor Center.

“Observing 101″
CE chapter Observing Supervisor Jonathan Wood continues his monthly Observing 101 discussion by presenting tools and challenges. Everone is welcome.

Place: Charlie Elliott Wildlife Center, Visitor Center.

“Current Events in Astronomy and Space Exploration”
CE chapter Director Theo Ramakers offers his monthly presentation on current events in astronomy and space exploration. Everyone is welcome.

Place: Charlie Elliott Wildlife Center, Visitor Center.

“Sunset Time Alert”
After the Feature presentation a “Sunset Time Alert” will be issued. We’d love for everyone to stay the entire meeting, but if you would like to setup your scope at the observing field before dark, this will be your cue to keep an eye on the time and leave the meeting early if necessary. Sunset will occur at 8:44 p.m.

“Observing after the meeting”
All are invited to the observing field immediately after the meeting (weather-permitting). Everyone is welcome.

Place: Charlie Elliott observation field
