THERE’S MORE THAN ONE WAY TO MEET UNDER THE STARS!

Dear fellow astronomy buffs.

Always in motion are the stars and planets. So too is our membership and the ways that we may gather to share our enthusiasm and enjoyment for astronomy.

Our FEBRUARY MEETING will be in Room N1104 in the Science Building at Wilfred Laurier University. It starts at 7 PM, Friday, February 14. Our Comet Lady will bring us up to date. “What’s Up” and The Messier Minute” will be presented by Michael. Trevor will bring his expertise and talk about “The Geological History of Mars.” Free parking is available in front of the Bricker Academic Building.

Everyone is invited. We will give your curiosity a work out.
