                     San\nJuan<\/strong> Stargazers Study Hubble Pictures\nof Colliding Galaxies <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \nTheSanJuan Stargazerswill\nhold their regular monthly meeting on Thursday, March 28, 2019, at the Chamber\nVisitors\u2019 Center Conference Room located at 105 Hot Springs Blvd.  The meeting is from 7- 8:30 PM. (SHARP)   Hot\ndrinks, and hopefully a treat, will be served at 6:30.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

 \n        Our program will be yet another unbelievable\none. We will study some amazing Hubble pictures showing galaxies in various\nstages of collision. That can happen! And fairly often. We will focus on photos\nof the Antennae Galaxies in Collision. Then we will look to the future\ncollision of Our Milky Way and Andromeda which will happen in about 2 Billion\nyears.  None of us will be here to experience\nit, but it is a remarkable idea to think about. Change in the Universe is\npretty pervasive.  There is so much space\nthat galaxies colliding does not mean that everything crashes. When Galaxies\ncollide almost everything just glides past each other and then with a change in\ngravity forms a new galaxy. It is worth coming to learn more about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n   On Thursday, April 26th, <\/sup> at 6 PM we will have another Telescope Clinic.<\/strong>  Many people in Pagosa have a telescope which\nthey were given or picked up somewhere, but have no idea how to use it or if it\nis even usable. At our Telescope Clinics you can learn how to use it or fix it.\n We have limited space in our Clinics so\ncall early to reserve a telescope expert. \nPlease call 970-335-8286, with a little information about what you have and\nwhat you may be needing in the form of help, so we can match you with the right\nperson.   2019 is the year to add this amazing dimension\nto your life!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Astronomy News Flash– a Super Moon will be visible today, March\n21.<\/strong> \u201cSuper Moons\u201d appear larger than the usual moon because the moon\u2019s\norbit around the earth is not a circle, but an ellipse. So, there are times\nwhen the moon is, in fact, closer to the earth & therefore looks bigger.  Check it out & see if you can notice a\ndifference.<\/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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
