Hello astronomy enthusiasts.
While you are contemplating this moment in history, that is, that 400 years ago today, Galileo unveiled his homemade telescope, an instrument that would open our window onto the cosmos, consider this:
Registration is now open for the second STAR-HOPPERS Weekend Workshop in Astronomy on the Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge, between Belen and Socorro. STAR-HOPPERS is a not-for-profit program operating in partnership with the UNM Sevilleta Field Station.
Our fall workshop for grandparents and grandkids features a special "two-fer" rate and will run Friday evening to Sunday afternoon, September 18-20. In addition to learning astronomy together in a beginner-friendly, hands-on environment, each grandparent/grandkid team will enjoy a biologist-led tour of the refuge and a guided tour of the Very Large Array.
On September 4, we will open registration to other adult/child teams, to fill any slots not filled by “grands.”
For more information, visit our website at www.astronomyworkshops.org or call 505-261-0040. Please feel free to forward this email or our website address to anyone you know who might be interested. Thank you!
Happy International Year of Astronomy 2009,
Karen Keese & Judy Stanley
