We will be at the Roper Mountain Science Center for this meeting!


Ever wanted to hold and examine meteorites?  Now is your chance!

Hold and examine 10 meteorites, including a 572 gm Odessa iron, and cut portions of four other irons, one stony, two pallasites and two Carbonaceous chondrites (Allende and Murchison). You will also hold and examine several fossils and terrestrial crystals. In addition, you will experience an easily reproduced scale model of the solar system on a scale that can be held and walked, giving a powerful feel for both the vast scale and the emptiness of space.

Our Speaker for this June will be announced soon.

Rev. Bruce Booher is a retired Lutheran pastor with a strong interest in the role that mystery, awe and wonder play in faith, science and all of life. He has been an amateur astronomer since he was 13. He has spoken at conferences, led retreats, and spoken on awe and wonder at dozens of civic clubs, astronomy clubs, and congregations.
