Macomb Meeting, October 16

From Dick Gala:

Dear WAS members,

The October WAS Macomb meeting will be held on Thursday, October 16th at Macomb Community College, Building B at 7:30 pm. The feature presentation will be by Dave Bailey and the title of his talk will be "Bigger Than the Moon."

This will be a non-richly illustrated exposition of where in the Solar System one can see objects "bigger than the Moon" as she appears in Earth's sky, which ones, and in which favorable configurations. Bailey will begin with the usual annoying trick question. He also will touch upon other topics e.g. satellites.

Bailey lives in Oxford far from his east coast genesis. He has served on the Village's charter commission, commuting brutal distances to Warren Society functions with breath-taking devotion. Some say that his mother was a computer and his father was a telescope!
