j...@tomney.com
Good evening HAL!
As hopefully everyone is aware, the HAL monthly meetings have shifted to the 2nd Thursday of each month – so that is this coming Thursday September 11th at 7pm. Also be aware that we will now be in one of the classrooms, not in the normal meeting room.
We have a great meeting lined up for you! Please join us either in person at the Robinson Nature Center or online via Zoom (link below).
Featured Speaker: Mehdi Benna, Planetary Scientist with NASA at GSFC will be talking about the Lunar Environment Monitoring Station (LEMS), one of the first three payloads to be a part of Artemis III that will send astronauts to explore the region near the lunar South Pole. Artemis III, currently planned to launch in 2026, will be the first time humans will return to the Moon’s surface since the historic Apollo program in 1969-1972. The Lunar Environment Monitoring Station (LEMS) is a compact, autonomous seismometer suite designed to carry out continuous, long-term monitoring of the seismic environment, namely ground motion from moonquakes to meteorite impacts in the lunar south polar region. The instrument will characterize the regional structure of the Moon’s crust and mantle, which will add valuable information to lunar formation and evolution models.
SeeStar Very Small Array Update: Matthew Peters will join us to give a status update on the targets for this month and how to get involved with using your SeeStar (or other EAA scope) to help create some amazing collaborative results.
Star Party Report: Rich & Millie Russin will share their recent experience attending this year’s Grand Canyon Star Party.
And of course will have our normal sections such as member photos, Shallow Skies, etc. Hope to see you there!
