Topic: “Interplanetary Missiles and Sources of Water plus Gigantic Lenses for imaging Very Distant Objects” by Larry Bogan
– Interplanetary Missile (Asteroid 2005 YU55)
– Celestial Water for Earth (Measuring water isotopes on Comet Hartley 2)
– CLASH (A program to study gravitational imaging of distant galaxies)
– Imaging a black hole (Gravitational image of a black hole disk)
New Location: Next door (east side) to Roy Bishop’s home. If you need more detailed directions:
– Wolfville and westward: From Highway 101 take exit 9 past the double bridge at the Gaspereau River. At the stop sign, turn left, and then take the next left across the 101 overpass. Go 180 degrees on the round-about and continue past the L.E. Shaw school. Immediately past the school, at the church, turn right and continue a further 2.4 km (during which you will cross a railway twice). On the left side you will encounter a wood fence backed by pine trees. The meeting location is immediately past the fence, on the left (#475).
– From Halifax, the shorter route is to take exit 8 into Hantsport, go through Hantsport on Main Street and continue straight through Hants Border and onto the Bluff Road to Avonport, turning right into the driveway immediately before the wood fence and pine trees.
OR: Take Avonport exit 9, go 90 degrees on the round-about, etc. (as above, for members coming from Wolfville).<
