We have a few items coming up that I wanted to share:
1. This Friday night at 7 p.m., our "Adults' Night Out" speaker is Dr. Todd
Bostwick. He is Phoenix's City Archeologist, and will be speaking on how
astronomy was used by prehistoric people to create calendars and define
sacred space. He will focus on recent archaeoastronomy research from the
Sonoran Desert and Colorado Plateau regions.
His talk is free and open to all adults. It will be followed at 8:15 p.m.
by the planetarium show, "Harvest Nights," which is free to members and $5
for non-members ($4 for seniors).
2. This Sunday the Houston Museum of Natural Science will have their
"Discovery Dome" set up in our lobby; it's a portable planetarium will a
"full-dome video system". It is free with admission to the Arizona Science
Center.
3. We're holding a public observing session on October 27th to celebrate
the total lunar eclipse. Come on down; everyone is welcome to participate.
We will have the center of Heritage Square and the east-facing stairs
outside of the Arizona Science Center for telescopes. The event is free to
everyone.
4. By next week, I hope to have details finalized on a sneak preview of our
new planetarium show, "Galaxies." I'll send out another email letting you
know exactly when it will be; we would like to invite both the professional
and amateur astronomy community to attend.
