The Mesa Astronomy/Geology Society will meet Saturday April 19 from 7 to 9 PM.
Location: 1444 N. Recker Road, Mesa, AZ in the clubhouse of the Alta Vista
Apartments.
Our featured speaker will be Dr. Ted Bowell, director and principal
investigator for the LONEOS (Lowell Observatory Near-Earth Object Search)
program based in Flagstaff at Lowell Observatory. LONEOS is a system designed
to find Earth-crossing asteroids (ECAs) and comets (ECCs), collectively known
as near-Earth objects (NEOs). These objects can occasionally collide with Earth
sometimes with devastating consequences. Finding large NEOs is the first step
in averting a collision. Dr. Bowell is internationally recognized as a leader
in this research so it should be an interesting evening.
The latter part of the meeting will be devoted to a SWAP meet for anyone
wishing to buy, sell or trade any astronomical or related items. If you have
anything you wish to sell, trade or perhaps buy please bring it with you for
display. This will not be an auction!
While membership or donations are encouraged, all interested parties are
welcome to attend.
