NEXT MEETING: Thursday, April 25, 2024
TIME: 7:00 to 9:00 PM
PROGRAM: “Asteroids and Meteors” [and what their remnants that reach Earth can tell us about the early solar system]. Club member Steve Grimsley will review the major types of meteorites, how and where they formed, and what they can tell us about the formation of the early solar system. Members will have the opportunity to examine nine separate meteorites from all of these major types. Steve's more detailed description of his presentation can be found here. All members are welcome to attend the business meeting that will follow the program. We will also stream the meeting using the Zoom platform, for those members unable to attend in person. Club members will be sent instructions by email describing how to join the meeting remotely.
