SUMMARY:ASRAS Astronomy Forum (March 2025)
DESCRIPTION:Topic: “How to talk to people about Science” \nPresenter: Jim Bader\, RMSC Strasenburgh Planetarium Director \nJim describes his presentation as follows: Amateur astronomy is an extremely rewarding hobby that you can share with anyone and everyone around you. However\, the way we talk about the interesting things we see in the sky can quickly lead others into false truths and contradictions if we aren’t careful. My career is communicating sometimes difficult concepts in a way that everyone can grasp to some extent\, but on occasion the simpler explanation can bite away at the truth in it all. Although it sometimes may feel self-deprecating\, gracefully pointing out the beauty in our lack of understanding can give friends and family a window into the reality and wonder of science and astronomy that a mere fact might often overlook.” \nAs with most Forums\, it will be geared towards a beginning or less experienced audience. All are welcome to attend. Contact Craig Kaplan (ckaplan0951@gmail.com) for zoom link.

SUMMARY:Strasenburgh Planetarium Free Telescope Observing
DESCRIPTION:Strasenburgh outlook for Sat 5/10/25: Yeah! We’ll finally be opening from 9 to 10:30 tonight as most forecasts show us clear\, although a few show some clouds increasing. It will be in the mid 50’s but dress warm for a light wind.\n\n\nObjects will be limited though. Jupiter early but getting low during the session\, and disappearing into the sunset in the coming weeks. A nearly full Moon will make dim deep sky objects difficult and will only show a bit of crater detail on the very edge. Double stars will be ok. Mars there but now very small. There is a very bright space station pass starting at 9:35\, passing high in the sky\, so look up then even if you’re not downtown with us.\n\n\nTo visit us\, park behind the planetarium and just before entering the rear glass doors\, on the right\, climb the 61 steps to the observing deck. We have a short window for observing as we have to turn the keys in about 10:45\, and that window will be even shorter as we get into June.\n\n\nWe do this weekly on Saturday nights if clear. Free. Questions? Call Jim Seidewand 585-703-9876.
