RVAS Monthly Meeting: RVAS Monthly Meeting: Monthly meetings will resume on Monday, November 17 at 7:30pm, and are held at the VWCC STEM building ST314.
NOTE : This is a different room from the past meetings. It is next door to the previous room.
Our speaker will be Cole Gregg who is an astronomer specializing in small-body dynamics, interstellar objects, and planetary defense. He is currently completing a PhD at the University of Western Ontario under the supervision of Dr. Paul Wiegert, focusing on simulations of interstellar material traveling through the Milky Way. Passionate about astronomical simulations, small-body surveys, and education, he also enjoys teaching and engaging with students in the classroom. Outside of academia, he spends his time outdoors, enjoying nature and pursuing wildlife photography.
Let's be sure to congratulate Clement Elechi. See page 26 of the latest issue of Reflector. He has a full page photo of the Headphone Nebula. We're a small but impressive club!
