Maui Astronomy Club

On June 21, there will be a big gathering on Oahu celebrating 2009-International Year of Astronomy!
Check out the details on-line to sign up.

Hope you can make it. Thanks Greg for bringing this to our attention!

I will be setting up my scope this Sunday at the Four Seasons Resort on the lawn next to Ferraro's Restaurant. I will be there from 7pm - 9pm if you'd like to come by for a peak.

It's not the best spot for viewing but at least we'll see something. Venus is shrinking in the West and Saturn is rising higher in the East!  The cosmic scales are tipping.

Saturn will be tipping even more this year and the rings will be seen edge-on by August!  This happens every 14 - 15 years.
This is how it looked in 1994.
