Hello! I hope your 2007 is going well so far!

Public viewing on UT telescopes start up again this week. Wednesdays will be on
RLM and Fridays and Saturdays will be at Painter. All viewing is from 7-9 p.m.
The daylight saving time change has moved up a couple of weeks, so we'll change
star party times after spring break.

Information on parking and directions to the telescopes are available here:

We also have two public lectures coming up. The first is this Friday at 7:30
p.m. in the ground floor lecture hall in RLM (room 4.102). The lecture will be
presented by Joel R. Primack, University of California, Santa Cruz and Nancy E.
Abrams, co-author and is titled: "The View from the Center of the Universe"

The second is on Saturday February 3rd at 1 p.m. in the ACES auditorium on
campus. It is the annual Board of Visitors "Great Lectures in Astronomy" talk.
This year is will be presented by Dr. Fritz Benedict, a Senior Research
Scientist here at UT. The title is "A Tale of Two Telescopes or Dancing with the
Stars". The abstract is available here:

I think that about covers everything!
