MONTHLY MEETING: Monday, August 19th, 7:30 p.m., Classroom B, 3rd floor, Center on
Church, Downtown Roanoke. Early last month 2019’s only total solar eclipse took
place. Passing from the central South Pacific to the western edge of the South Atlantic,
the shadow of the sun-obscuring moon crossed the narrow finger of South America occupied
by Chile and Argentina, the only land area where totality could be viewed. And RVAS
Immediate Past President Dan Chrisman and his wife, Carolyn, were among those who
had the opportunity to travel to Chile for the event. For our August featured program,
the Chrismans will share their experiences. Whether a seasoned amateur or new to
astronomy, their photos and commentary will offer something for everyone. Mark your
calendars and plan to attend our August 19th meeting for our featured program and
other regularly scheduled activities!
