                     San\nJuan<\/strong> Stargazers Study About Galaxies\u2014NEAR\n& <\/strong>FAR<\/p>\n\n\n\n

       The San Juan Stargazers will hold their regular monthly meeting on Thursday, February 28, at the Chamber Visitors\u2019 Center Conference Room located at 105 Hot Springs Blvd.  We are now a non-profit member of the Chamber of Commerce, so this is our permanent meeting location.  The meeting is from 7- 8:30 PM. (SHARP)   Hot drinks and maybe a treat, will be served starting around 6:30.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n Our program will be another\nprofound one. We will study more about Edwin Hubble\u2019s discovery of galaxies.   At one time astronomers thought that the\nMilky Way was the whole universe. What a jump from one galaxy to 300 billion galaxies?  Let that thought blow your mind for a while!  Hubble\u2019s views of nebula that appeared to be\nbeyond the Milky Way using the great telescope at Mt. Wilson took place in the 1920\u2019s.  He came to learn that these nebula, in fact,\nwere separate galaxies. Then he applied the Doppler Effect to come up with\nHubble\u2019s Law about their movement.  Way\nback then he understood the need for Dark Energy to account for movement in the\nUniverse. He was quite the genius, who certainly deserved to have the Space\nTelescope bear his name. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

       \nI love how our lessons take complex ideas and make them understandable for\nus all.  Our programs are for people of\nall levels of astronomy and it is amazing how much each person learns.  Don\u2019t let the fact that you feel like a beginner\nkeep you away. We are all so amazed by what we are learning that we simply DO\nNOT judge anyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Start preparing for Thursday, March 28th,\n<\/sup> at 6 PM when we will have our\nfirst Telescope Clinic of 2019<\/strong>.\n  Many people in Pagosa have a telescope\nwhich they were given or picked up somewhere, but have no idea how to use it or\nif it is even usable. At our Telescope Clinics you can learn how to use it or\nfix it.  We have limited space in our\nClinics so call early to reserve a telescope expert.  Please call 970-335-8286, with a little\ninformation about what you have and what you may be needing in the form of help,\nso we can match you with the right person. \n 2019 is the year to add an amazing dimension to your life!!!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Astronomy News Flash– a Super Moon will\nbe visible on February 19 and March 21. \u201cSuper Moons\u201d appear larger than the\nusual moon because the moon\u2019s orbit around the earth is not a circle, but an ellipse.\nSo, there are times when the moon is, in fact, closer to the earth & therefore\nlooks bigger.  Check it out & see if\nyou can notice a difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  \n  The San Juan Stargazers are part\nof the Astronomical League, which includes clubs from all over the US.  We have a new web-site<\/strong>—www.sanjuanstargazers.org, as well as an email address,\nsjstargazers@gmail.com<\/a> and a club\nphone number 970-335-8286. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

  \n We welcome everyone who has an\ninterest in learning more about our  AMAZING\nUNIVERSE. <\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
