Going, going, gone…
The last of the astronomy desk calendars are still available at $10 each. Additionally, we have a few remaining copies of the Observer's Handbook. One of these handy guides can go home with you on the 21st for just $13.
Four more join TVS
While some of us were busy sending our (late) renewal checks, four others decided to join the club for the first time. Please welcome Gordon D. Jones, James R. Mathers, Kevin Hemphill, and Rick Sarrica.
MDAS sponsors astro workshops
Mami Berendsen, vice president of Mount Diablo Astronomical Society (serving Concord and Walnut Creek), announces that MDAS will sponsor a series of astronomy workshops. Topics to be included answer such questions as
Did the dinosaurs see the same constellations that we do now?
Why don't eclipses occur every month?
What causes meteor showers such as the Leonids, to happen each year at the same time?
The first workshop is set for May 19, 2000. For information on dates, location, and registration, contact Mami at 925/930-7431, or berendsen@aol.com.
