Astronomy Event This Saturday, October 3rd

Hello everyone,

This is a reminder to those who are interested in going to the Beaver Meadow Observatory this Saturday Oct. 3rd in North Java, NY for an observing event with the Buffalo Astronomical Association. We are planning to meet in front of the Student Union at 5:45pm Saturday afternoon and will be leaving by 6. The observatory houses a variety of telescopes and video imaging cameras along with slides, videotapes and telescope clinics. We will be bringing one of our own telescopes with us to the event and observing the skies with other members of the BAA. More information about the observatory can be found at their website : http://www.buffaloastronomy.com/index.htm

If you are still interested in going, please send me an e-mail ASAP at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it with "BAA event" in the subject line.

Meet and Greet with Dr. Donald Ward

As you may have seen from some other list-serve emails, Dr. Donald T. Ward will be giving a dinner presentation in the area tomorrow evening and will be visiting UB during the day. We have been given the opportunity to do a meet and greet with him and to ask questions. Dr. Ward is a professor emeritus of aerospace engineering at Texas A&M University and former director of its flight mechanics laboratory. Dr. Ward has been involved with experiential aircraft testing for many years, and also worked on NASA's X-38 Prototype Crew Return Vehicle.

This event will take place tomorrow morning at 10:30 AM in Furnas 1014. If you are available, please feel free to stop by and get the opportunity to talk with Dr. Ward. More information about Dr. Ward can be found below:
