Monthly Meeting: Asteroid Day
The Astronomical Society of Greenbelt will meet at 7:30 PM on Thursday June 25 in Room 114 of the Greenbelt Community Center. The topic is Asteroid Day.* This will be a free-form get together to discuss and exchange information about asteroids and comets. It will include video(s), a poster session, a slide show, general discussion, and recognition of ASG members who have asteroids named after them. Bring an asteroid, if you have one. (Obviously, this applies to small ones that have fallen to earth. If your asteroid is large and still orbiting out in the solar system, please leave it where it is.) This will be a hybrid in-person/Zoom meeting. The Zoom info is below. Due to the nature of this session, some of the information will not be viewable on-line.
* Yes, Asteroid Day, June 30, is a real thing.

Our monthly meetings are usually held on the last Thursday of each month. Our speakers are drawn from all around the country, including experts from NASA, the Smithsonian, the National Radio Astronomy Observatory, and other scientific institutions. Our members also give presentations about subjects of interest to amateur astronomers.
The events are held at the Greenbelt Community Center. We encourage visitors to attend in person, although we will also broadcast the talk on Zoom. Come back a few days before the meeting to see how to join the Zoom meeting. We begin the meetings at 7:00 pm with informal conversation. The presentation begins at 7:30 pm.
The presentations are free and open to the public.
