SAN JUAN STARGAZERS ARE BEGINNING A SUMMER OF LEARNING, TEACHING & EXPLORING OUR AMAZING UNIVERSE <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The San Juan Stargazer Astronomy Club Monthly Meeting is Thursday, May 26, from<\/p>\n\n\n\n
7 PM to 8:30 sharp at the Community United Methodist Church Fellowship Hall at 434 Lewis Street, please use the doorway right off the large parking lot to the East. (The front doors may be locked.) If you would like coffee\/tea, cookies & some stimulating conversation, you can arrive shortly after 6 PM for our social time. Wearing a mask is currently an individual decision. Be yourself & be strong! We respect that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our program is called the EARTH\/ MOON CONNECTION & it is so appropriate since we will spend much time looking at & sharing with others, many aspects of our Moon. Our lesson includes a written summary to read & discuss, a video presentation with a speaker & detailed diagrams to explain each point. There also is an opportunity for group participation with comments and questions welcomed. It should be very interesting & of value to beginners & experts alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Never feel that you do not know enough to attend our meetings. Astronomy is an area where EVERYONE has much to learn. We all are learners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I hope that you were able to see the eclipse. We did not have a special article to prepare you because neither telescopes nor safety glasses were needed to watch this beautiful celestial event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Saturday, May 28, is the free event called LIFE AT CHIMNEY ROCK from 10AM to 2PM. There will be a sampling of some of the many things that took place at CHIMNEY ROCK & wonderful Native American Venders, a delicious food truck and with weather allowing, a solar telescope will check out our SUN. We will also present explanations of the coming Major Lunar Standstill. It is all FREE & a special gift from the Chimney Rock Interpretive Association & the Forest Service to our community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
San Juan Stargazers will also get together on Friday, May 20th <\/sup>at Chimney Rock starting from 7-8PM for a telescope training session. Bring your own telescope, use a CRIA scope or share a scope with others. We will all help each other, learn a lot & have a great time. We are getting ready for the first NIGHT SKY PROGRAM\u2014STARS & GALLAXIES on Friday, May 27. There will be newly created programs this year<\/strong> on stars & galaxies, the moon & our solar system & Astronomy of the Ancient People. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Please Note–On Wednesday, June 1st<\/sup> & again on Wednesday, June 22, we will have a special guest astronomer<\/strong> from the West Cliff observatory. He came last summer & was so helpful with learning about our telescopes & solving problems with telescopes. Thursday, June 2 & Thursday, June 23 will be our back-up dates. Details about location & times will follow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you would like to join the San Juan Stargazers you will also receive Reflector Magazine which is the publication of the National Astronomical League of which you automatically become a member. To join both groups & get an excellent astronomy magazine, annual membership is only $25\/ family. You can join the club at any of our events. <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/strong>The San Juan Stargazers Club is part of the Astronomical League celebrating its 75th<\/sup> year of service<\/strong> which includes over 250 clubs from all over the US. Our local group also has a web-site<\/strong>—www.sanjuanstargazers.org. CHECK IT OUT for more information & beautiful Hubble photos. We welcome everyone to learn more about our AMAZING UNIVERSE<\/u><\/strong> and from a distance it all looks incredible.
