I know it's last minute, and a long weekend. Please email me if you can help out this Saturday and Sunday. It includes a room and Breakfast Fri and Sat, a BBQ on Saturday Night. Free admission to the GA and a promise you will have lots of fun. ablanchard at cogeco.ca Andy Blanchard 905-330-5626C 905-469-2400B From atacamandy at gmail.com Sat May 28 19:20:28 2016 From: atacamandy at gmail.com (Andrew Blanchard) Date: Sat, 28 May 2016 19:20:28 -0400 Subject: [RASC Hamilton Special Announcement] MallinCam Message-ID: Gary B and I are going to setup the Mallincam tonight at the observatory after the outreach at RBG. The SKYS look promising, so I am guesstimating we will be out there around 10pm if it's a go. Look back here for a go no go decision around 9:30.

Meeting highlights: Guest Speaker - Cliff Burgess, Gravitational Waves - What's the Big Deal?. Gravitational waves were recently seen coming from the coalescence of two black holes a great distance away. This talk intends to convey three things: 1. why modern theories of forces always require the existence of waves; 2. why this requirement is driven by relativity (largely because of its requirement that nothing goes faster than light, which in turn is founded on the impossibility of being able to sends signals into one's own past); and 3. why seeing gravitational waves from black holes is likely to teach us much about the universe as a whole in addition to learning about the waves and black holes themselves. We'll also be showing off some new equipment that will be making a debut in the club observatory. When: Thursday June 2, 8:00 PM Where: Royal Canadian Legion, 79 Hamilton St. N, 2nd Floor, Waterdown, ON -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
