San Juan<\/strong> Stargazers and Chimney Rock Interpretive\nAssociation to Have Joint Social & Lecture <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

       On Thursday, August 8th<\/sup>, we\nwill have a SPECIAL JOINT MEETING OF THE STARGAZERS & THE CHIMNEY ROCK\nINTERPRETIVE ASSOCIATION. We will meet at the Springs Hotel at 6PM for\ndelicious hors d\u2019oeuvres and a cash bar. \n<\/strong>Then at 7PM, a very special guest, Dr. Erica Ellingson, Professor of\nAstrophysical and Planetary Science at the University of Colorado, Boulder will\nspeak. Her research interests include galaxies, dark matter and observational\ncosmology and she is fascinated with all aspects of how humans connect with the\nsky and understand the cosmos.  Her\nrecent projects include developing public programs on the astronomy of the Ancestral\nPuebloans in collaboration with Chaco Cultural National Park and Chimney Rock\nNational Monument.  She has been at C.R.\nnumerous times doing research & will share some of her findings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Her talk should interest the Pagosa Springs community, C.R.I.A. volunteers and Astronomy people.\u00a0 \u00a0I want to encourage \u00a0EVERY ONE TO ATTEND<\/strong>. \u00a0\u00a0CRIA members usually make hors d\u2019oeuvres<\/strong> to share at the potluck, but the \u00a0San Juan Stargazers CLUB will purchase & prepare special food so our members do not need to prepare something individually. \u00a0Hope to see you!\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The San Juan Stargazers will hold their regular \u00a0monthly meeting on Thursday, August 22, 2019, at the Chamber Visitors\u2019 Center Conference Room located at 105 Hot Springs Blvd. \u00a0The meeting is from 7- 8:30 PM. (SHARP) \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

         Before the meeting, at 6PM we will\nhave a Telescope Clinic.<\/strong>  Many\npeople in Pagosa have a telescope which they were given or picked up somewhere,\nbut have no idea how to use it or if it is even usable. The San Juan Stargazers\nwant to help you learn how to use it or fix it.   You may\ncall 970-335-8286, with a little information about what you have and what you\nmay be needing in the form of help.   We will match you with a club member who will\nhelp you. Then you can have an amazing summer practicing with your telescope at\nboth our Star Parties & practice sessions.   2019\nis the year to add this amazing dimension to your life!!! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

         \nWe work hard during the summer doing our 9 star parties at Chimney Rock,\nso we will take special time at this meeting to  appreciate each other for all we do while we\nenjoy a very delicious treat.  There will\nbe time for an evaluation of our club & the summer star parties.  Please be thinking about ways that we could\nimprove how we do things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Our\nprogram for the night will be a review and question & answer session on Dr.\nEllingson\u2019s lecture.  We will have copies\nof notes from the lecture. I think the lecture will provide valuable\ninformation for all our volunteers to know & share at our star parties.  It should be a good night of enjoyment & learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          The San Juan Stargazers are part of the Astronomical\nLeague, 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

    We\nwelcome everyone who has an interest in learning more about our  AMAZING UNIVERSE.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
