AstroAssembly 2007

Skyscraper AstroAssembly 2007 is now in the history archives. From all of the reports that I have received everyone enjoyed the speakers, the camaraderie, and the food! I am pleased that the Skyscrapers upheld the famous Rhode Island tradition of good food and lots of it. Of course the AstroAssembly could not have happened with out numerous volunteers, way to many to name individually. All of the volunteers, you know who you are, my deepest gratitude for your support for this event. The entire weekend went very smoothly and with out any problems. Hats off to Kathy Siok for a wonderful event. Anyone that missed the Asto-Assembly this year mark your calendar for next year October 3rd and 4th, don’t miss two in a row. Glenn Jackson President

Comet 17P/Holmes

On Wednesday, October 24, 2007 an obscure periodic comet Holmes experienced a sudden flare-up, bringing it from 17th magnitude to a 2.5 in just a few hours. The comet remains a large and diffuse glow in Perseus. From a dark, moonless sky it can still be seen naked-eye, but it is best seen with binoculars.
