RustyNational Astronomy Day: 5/10/08
A reminder: Tomorrow's National Astronomy Day; most cities with an astronomy club will have displays, demonstrations, and, weather permitting, observing.
In the past few years very fine, affordable, solar filters have emerged, so that solar prominences can be seen (before, only sunspots), so daylight observing is more interesting.

Sometimes I think we're alone in the universe, and sometimes I think we're not.
In either case the idea is quite staggering. - Arthur C. Clarke
It was a woman who drove me to drink, and I've been searching thirty years to find her and thank her - W. C. Fields
