SUMMARY:Greenbelt Star Party
DESCRIPTION:Weather permitting\, we will hold a star party at the Greenbelt Observatory. The observatory will be open to visitors to view the wonders of the heavens. People are also welcome to bring their own telescopes to set up for observation. \nThe event is open to members and non-members of all ages at no cost. We provide a fun\, family-friendly environment for learning about the universe. This is a great way to meet other astronomers in the community. And\, if you are new to the hobby\, members are always willing to help you learn how to use your telescope. \nOur star parties generally begin about an hour after sunset and run for two hours.  \nPlease note that star parties may be canceled without prior notice in the event of overcast skies or extremely inclement weather conditions. In addition\, the observatory is made of metal and has no heating or cooling system. Please be aware that the temperature inside will be roughly the same inside as it is outside\, although in summer it is sometimes hotter inside. Please dress accordingly. \nIn accordance with Prince George’s County guidelines\, masks are voluntary.

SUMMARY:Monthly Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Green Bank 100-Meter Radio TelescopePhoto credit: Kevin A. Wilson \n\nThe speaker for our July meeting will be Dr. Patrick A. Taylor of the Green Bank Observatory in West Virginia. He will be speaking on the topic of planetary radar astronomy. The meeting will be on July 25 at the Greenbelt Community Center. We gather for informal conversation at 7:00 pm and the talk begins at 7:30 pm. You may also attend the lecture via Zoom. \nDr. Taylor grew up just down the road in Annapolis and Davidsonville\, Maryland. He did his undergraduate work in physics and astronomy at the University of Maryland\, College Park\, and then earned a PhD in astronomy from Cornell University. He spent almost a decade working at the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico before moving to the Lunar and Planetary Institute in Houston\, Texas. He then moved to the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) in Charlottesville\, Virginia. He is currently the radar division head for NRAO and the project director for ngRADAR\, a project to put a high-power radar transmitter on the Green Bank Telescope in West Virginia. \nZoom Meeting Information\n\nURL: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/84215108792?pwd=ZHJHWTg5MmdjSzkzZ0FGMVIzY3czdz09\nMeeting ID: 842 1510 8792\nPasscode: 193870
