Join us Saturday, June 15, 2013 at UNB in Fredericton (the Forestry & Geology Building, Room 104)
for our regular monthly meeting. There will be a talk on Observing Filters and a book review of "Galileo's Daughter"
in addition to the regular activities that occur at our meetings.

Ms. Ward's class in Delaware wanted to show their apprecation for some astronomy resources
they discovered on the Saint John Astronomy Club website. As a result, they have provided
as resource of their own for our enjoyment. I would encourage you to check out the resource

RASC NB Meeting Cancelled... |
| |
Due to impending weather that could result in unsafe driving conditions, we have cancelled
the RASC NB meeting for Saturday, April 13. We are considering rescheduling for April 27
and we will keep you posted. This gives you some time to think about volunteering to give
a talk or compose an astronomy song for the meeting.
Next week is Astronomy Week, capped by International Astronomy Day on April 20. Share the
sky with your friends and potential friends.
