Sharing A Resource... |
| |
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
on the Hubble Telescope.

RASC NB Meeting... |
| |
Join us Saturday, April 27, 2013 at Université de Moncton in Moncton (Pavilion Jean-Cadieux, Room 050)
for our regular monthly meeting that had to be rescheduled due to weather conditions. The meeting will
begin at 13:00.
In addition, there will be a Business meeting beginning at 11:00 AM. All are welcome to listen in
and see how your RASC Centre functions.
We’ll likely be going out for supper afterwards so you may want to include this in your plans
for the day. What better way to spend the day than talking astronomy, enjoying good company,
and sharing a good meal with friends? See you Saturday!

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.
