--Apple-Mail-23--807106467 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Type: text/plain; charset=WINDOWS-1252; delsp=yes; format=flowed The=A0June meeting of the Halifax Centre of the RASC (Royal Astronomical = =20 Society of Canada) will be held Friday,=A0June 20th at 8:00 PM in Room =20= L176 of the Loyola Building at Saint Mary's University. (A map can be found at the Centre's web site; see below.) Members of the public are welcome. Attendance is free. The June meeting features the following main talk: Water & Sky in the Deep South by Dr. Roy Bishop "God put astronomers in the north, but put all the best sky stuff in =20 the south" (Terence Dickinson and Alan Dyer). The best open cluster, =20 the best globular clusters, the best emission nebula, the best dark =20 nebula, the best view of the Milky Way Galaxy, the two brightest =20 external galaxies, and the three brightest appearing stars all lie in =20= the southern sky. Within the past 4 months I had the good fortune to =20 view these during visits to the southern tips of three continents and =20= several islands in the South Atlantic and South Pacific. Not only are =20= most of these celestial highlights invisible from Canada, but our =20 familiar sky can look very strange when you are inverted. I will share =20= some impressions of the stars, the land, the sea, and the wildlife.=94 Dr. Roy Bishop is a past-president of the Halifax Centre and of the =20 national Society. He is the current Honorary President of the Halifax =20= Centre. For many years he was the Head of the Physics Department of =20 Acadia University. Dr. Bishop was the editor of the RASC Observer=92s =20= Handbook for 20 years (1981-2001).
