Meeting Details
Feature Presentation: “The New World of Galileo”
Now where we are celebrating the 400 aniversary of Galileo using a telescope and “discovering” the Universe as we know it, we will be watching a recorded presentation given by Professor William Shea, Galileo’s Chair from the University of Padua, as he recently gave a lecture for the Royal Astronomical Society at Burlington House called “The New World of Galileo” to mark the International Year of Astronomy. This presentation gives some nice insight of who the real Galileo was, and sheds some details on the politics of those days. Everone is welcome.
Place: Charlie Elliott Wildlife Center, Visitor Center.
“Observing 101″
CE chapter Observing 101 will be presented by Steve Bieger, Observing Supervisor. 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 6:17 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
