M20

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.   Our Next Meeting In March 2013 Dr. Charles Hunt went to Alaska to see the Northern Lights.  He arrived at the same time as particles from a coronal mass ejection.  The result was "Fire in the Sky". Wednesday March 4th at 6:45 PM, join us in the Kilaga Springs Presentation Hall where Dr. Charles Hunt will give a presentation on the physics of the Aurora Borealis.
