Wednesday January 9th, 7:30 pm at Kaleideum North the Forsyth Astronomical Society will have its regularly scheduled monthly meeting. The program for this month’s meeting is by FAS member Bruce Gavett and is entitled:
It’s all about PLUTO
NASA/Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory/Southwest Research Institute/Alex Parker
(and a bit about Charon)
(and don’t forget Ultima Thule!)
Join us for the exploration of everyone’s favorite ex-planet Pluto along with its moon Charon and the Kuiper Belt object Ultima Thule. Follow the New Horizons spacecraft from its 2015 flyby of Pluto and Charon to its January 2019 visit to Ultima Thule.
Following the presentation portion, we will have a brief business/planning meeting and as always, there will be an informal social gathering 30 minutes or so before the meeting. Come early for the best choice of doughnuts. All meetings are open to the public, free of charge and all are welcome. Hope to see you there.
