[AZ-Observing] speaker on July 20 at Arizona Science Center

Here's the info on Dr. Buratti's talk on the moons of Saturn.
I also have learned that the earlier press release I sent you had some mistakes 
in it; Dr. Hartmann will be speaking on and signing one of his other books, 
"The Grand Tour:  A Traveler's Guide To The Solar System," not his Mars book.
