[AZ-Observing] Reminder

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.
