The Lincoln Hills Astronomy Group general meetings provide residents, from beginners to experts, with a forum to increase their knowledge in astronomy, and to meet people with like interests.  General meetings begin with an informal "What's New in Astronomy", followed by the main presentation, and finish with an informal Q & A session.  Meetings are supplemented with our annual planetarium trip.  For more information contact John Combes at jncombes@aol.com.   Our Next Meeting Wednesday October 2 at 7:00 PM, join us in the Kilaga Springs Presentation Hall, where Dr. Lawrence L. Lapin, Emeritus Professor San Jose State University, will speak on space threats and planet security.   Another dinosaur killing size meteor, and even smaller devastating meteors, will eventually crash into the Earth and currently we are not ready to do anything about such an occurrence. Dr. Lapin will discuss the steps needed to be taken to detect and mitigate such future events.
