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 January 8 at 6:45 PM, join us in the Orchard Creek Lodge front Ballroom.  John Combes will present the mind boggling topic, “Numbers, Time and the Vastness of Space”.  A look at our home planet and how it measures up to its place in our Solar System, our home Milky Way Galaxy, and the myriad of galaxies which make up the visible Universe.
