Cranbrook Meeting, January 5, 2009

The first WAS meeting of the International Year of Astronomy! And the anniversary of the space shuttle program's inception. Well, you can't win 'em all. Here's the letter from Dick Gala:

Dear WAS members,

The January 2009 Cranbrook meeting will be held in the auditorium of the Cranbrook Institute of Science on Monday, January 5th at 7:30 pm.

The evening's first presentation will be given by Gary M. Ross, our 1st Vice President, and will be entitled "January Meteors." There is a lot more going in meteor showers than one would imagine - ah, but if only we could see them in Michigan!

The second, entitled "Education for Stars over D-A Ranch," will be given by Sid Keeler. The latter presentation will be a description of a new Boy Scout astronomy facility. Astronomy in scouting is getting ready for a growth phenomenon which is long over due!

Dick
