Hi Everyone,
This invitation is to give you a fun and unique opportunity. The Atlanta
Astronomy Club will be holding a special event Saturday, August 23rd.
This month (August) Mars will be closer than it has been in the last 60,000
years. Also Uranus and Neptune will be visible at the same time. I have
been working hard to get the club to put on this special event and have
promised to bring a load of new people out. (We love having company.) The
club is going all out by having a lot of fun sessions to suit a variety of
interests. Feel free to participate in any or all of the activities or
just come out for the stargazing.
Activities:
* The club members will have a variety of telescopes setup for your
viewing pleasure, and will be happy to answer any questions we can.
* We will have Mars and Uranus tracking on outdoor monitors.
* A beginner slide show on the night sky (held indoors at the
observatory clubhouse.)
* An outdoor session to help you find your way around the night sky (we
call it star-hopping.)
* A session to help you locate and track satellites. (Ever wanted to
see the International Space Station?)
* We hope to have a solar telescope setup during the cookout.
* We expect to have the grill fired up during the daylight.
If you are interested, please RSVP to me so that I can send you all the
details. Your friends are welcome but I need a head count so that I can be
sure that we have enough food and supplies on hand.
Looking forward to seeing you,
Nancy
