NO Monthly Meeting
Due to various factors there will not be a meeting this month. Instead, we encourage you to register for this zoom webinar, “The Life and Legacy of Nancy Grace Roman”, honoring the scientist the upcoming Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is named after. This is part of the Astro Society (formerly The Astronomical Society of the Pacific) conference.

The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, built and managed by Goddard, will launch at 7:26 AM Sunday August 30. NASA will show the launch.
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.
Per our insurance requirements, anyone under 18 years old must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
