Howdy, folks!

We're doing a few astronomy-related activities here at the Arizona Science
Center in May that I wanted to let you know about.

May's Adult's Night Out (May 7th) will have an astronomy theme.  Dr. Jeff
Hester will be speaking that night in the planetarium about the Big
Bang--the same talk he gave last night to EVAC.  We'll also have a virtual
tour of the planetarium before and after his presentation.

On May 15th, we're planning an observing session outside to coincide with
the total lunar eclipse.  While the exhibits won't be open, we'll set up
some telescopes on our east-facing steps, and more can be placed in Heritage
Square.  Anyone who would like to come and join us is welcome!  Please let
me know if you're bringing a telescope.

On Saturday May 17th, we're holding our own "Astronomy Day", with tables for
clubs and organization, and displays and activities throughout the science
center.  This year we're focussing more on children's activities and less on
adult-oriented presentations. If you would like to do a workshop, activity,
just volunteer for the day, or have your organization participate, please
let me know as soon as possible.
