Feb-April 2020 Newsletter Now Available

Rappahannock Astronomy Club Posted on April 30, 2020 by Linda BillardApril 30, 2020

The latest newsletter is now available. Just click the newspaper icon on this page. Our restricted lifestyle these days has allowed us to learn some new things and then write about them. This issue includes articles by Myron Wasiuta and Scott Busby on their work on the Atlas comet and globular clusters, respectively. Ron Henke tells about his latest gadget, StarSense Autoalign, and Bart and Linda Billard have written about images of black holes, a new instrument at the telescope complex in Hawaii, and the new planetarium at UVA. Enjoy!
