From GColwell at portstoronto.com Thu Mar 5 10:16:26 2015 From: GColwell at portstoronto.com (Gary Colwell) Date: Thu, 5 Mar 2015 15:16:26 +0000 Subject: [RASC Hamilton Special Announcement] Tonight's Meeting 8:00pm at the Legion in Waterdown Message-ID: <580C383E955B1247A8F5DA427555EA5A1C705E73@CHALEUR.corp.torontoport.com> Hello all, Just a reminder we have an amazing speaker for your meeting tonight PhD candidate Rachael Ward !!! Rachel Ward, who is in the final year of her PhD studies in astrophysics at McMaster University will give a talk on: A Star is Born: Uncovering the True Nature of Molecular Clouds Giant molecular clouds are the birthplace of stars; however, the true nature of these clouds remains a great mystery. The first step towards achieving a greater understanding of star formation is exploring the structure and evolution of the clouds in which they form. Learn how powerful supercomputers are used to visualize both simulated and observed star-forming clouds to help solve several major unanswered questions in star formation. Rachel received her Bachelor's degree from York University in 2009 and her Master's degree from McMaster University in 2011. Over the past ten years, she has been involved in various astronomy and science outreach initiatives, coordinating events for Let's Talk Science, the McMaster 3D Theatre, McMaster's Sidewalk Astronomy, Science Rendezvous, and the York Observatory, and also as a presenter at the McCallion Planetarium and invited speaker at the David Dunlap Observatory and Ontario Science Centre. Bring a friend and see you tonight!

The latest issue is always at the top. In this month's issue you'll find: 1) Les Nagy making the case for using Forums, and a quick note about AstroCATS from Andy Blanchard. 2) A good article from Mark Pickett about "Stargazer" Steve Dodson, who will be at AstroCATS. 3) A couple of pages of great pictures from last months thin moon and conjunction...should give you a good idea about how to take striking pictures without massive amounts of equipment! 4) Chris Talpas provides another book review in his Librarians Report. 5) Some pictures provided by Ed Mizzi from the February meeting. 6) A calendar of astronomical, and Centre, events coming up in the next month. Please note that April 4th comes after March 3rd, unlike the calendar! The lunar eclipse that day will still occur, though! 7) Finally, check out the pictures on the front and back covers by Les Nagy and Scott Barrie, respectively. Please accept my apologies for it being late, and I hope you enjoy reading it. Finally, please note that I'd like any submissions to be sent to me by Friday, March 27th, although I'll happily take pictures until Monday, March 30th.
