Event

We will be holding our February meeting for members and guests starting at 1:15 PM in Berliner Hall of Hofstra University, 1st floor, California Avenue (just south of Hempstead Turnpike). Parking is in the lot on Huntington Place across the side street.  AOS meetings include observing reports and guest speaker talks on astronomy topics and are held once a month.

Our speaker this month is AOS Member Mike Barnett whose in person presentation is about a 1925 study into the reversing layers of stars. Mike, an AOSNY member since 1990 is also a chemistry major.

This month's meeting will be in person only.
