REGULAR  MEETING  OF  THE  SAN  JUAN  STARGAZERS  IS  THURSDAY,  JULY  28<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FIRST  PHOTOS  FROM   THE  JAMES  WEBB  SPACE  TELESCOPE   RELEASED  THIS  WEEK—-  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our regular  club meeting for  the  San  Juan  Stargazers is on Thursday, July  28, at  the Community United Methodist Church  Fellowship Hall  on 434 Lewis Street. Please  use  the  parking  lot  door as the  front doors may  remain  locked.   At  6 PM there  is  a social  time with  coffee, tea, etc.   This month\u2019s program  on the Galilean Moons of Jupiter will be  interesting  &  very  useful  since  they  are  sometimes  visible to the  naked- eye &  for sure with  binoculars.   Unfortunately,  Covid is not  over  & we  are  encouraging  our  members  to  wear  masks for  our  meeting.   We  all  want  to  hang around  to  see  all  the  Webb  photos  possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As  of  July  1,  we  are  starting  a  Stargazer Rewards  Program where  members  will  receive  coupons  for  attendance, speaking, special preparation etc. at  club  meetings  &  activities.   The  more  you  participate the  more  coupons  you  will  receive.  All  members  will  receive a coupon  for attending.  And  for  example, Ann  Marie  Kemp  will  receive  4  coupons  for  preparing the  lesson for  tonight.  People  bringing a  baked  or  purchased treat  will  get  an additional coupon.  At  our  Night  Sky  Programs  at  Chimney  Rock  members  helping will  get a  coupon, but  those  speaking  will  get  additional  coupons  for  the  amount  of  preparation it  took.  Then  at  our  10th<\/sup>  Anniversary  Party  in  October,  coupons  will  be  drawn  for  really  cool  prizes.  You  will  hear  more  about their  coolness  later.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

 I  hope  that  everyone  has  had  the opportunity to  see  some  of  the  first  images   from  the  James  Webb Space Telescope which will  revolutionize our  understanding of the  cosmos. The  first picture of a Deep  Field is the  deepest & highest- resolution of galaxies as  they  appeared  billions of   years  ago &  was released  on  Monday by President  Biden  with  additional  later  releases  of  more  photos  by  NASA ,  the European Space Agency  &  the Canadian  Space  Agency.    The  San  Juan  Stargazers  have  been  waiting  for  years for  these  photos.    Bob  Mitchel  who worked on the Webb &  has a house in  Pagosa  did  his first  presentation to  us on the  James  Webb  in 2013 &  gave  later  up-dates.  He will  be speaking again  this  September &  everyone  will be  invited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The  Stargazers  are   adding  a  new  night  of  amazing educational  opportunities  for  all of  Pagosa.  Starting  in  August  we  will be meeting once  a month  for  a new  program  titled  HUBBLE  &  THE  WEBB<\/u><\/strong>.  We  are  hoping  that  many  students & their  parents<\/u><\/strong> will  attend  this  free & very  exciting  program.  We are  asking  for  community  involvement.  Anyone  can  download  the  Webb  pictures  &  present  them  at  this  gathering.  Then  other people  can  add  information & comments.  We  will  all  learn  a  great  deal!  Webb photos  will  have priority, but  if  there  is  time  left  we will study  Hubble\u2019s  Greatest  Hits.  The  date  for  the first session  is  Thursday, August  11,  at  7pm  at  the  United  Methodist  Church  Fellowship  Hall (use  the  parking  lot  door).              <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To join both groups & get an excellent astronomy magazine, annual membership is only $25\/ family.  This  year  there is  a fabulous special gift  for  new  & renewing  members.  It will help you  become the  astronomer you  have  always  dreamed  of  being. You  will  LOVE  it!  You can join the club at any of our events.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n
