Astronomy Forum


Today was the first day of the two day Northeast Astronomy Forum, a harbinger of spring. It is held at Rockland Community College. It is always great to drive up there and see all the astronomy hardware, books and goodies, and listen to some great speakers. Just the thing to get the blood flowing, and inspire me to go out observing after a winter of overcast skies. This is a photo of Brother Guy Consolmagno, of the Vatican Observatory, who wrote with Dan Davis one of the classic books for beginning observers of the skies "Turn Left At Orion." He spoke of how his interest in astronomony began as a young boy, and his education and the work he does now. One of three great speakers and three wonderful talks. All very inspiring and a nice change of pace for the weekend.
