If anybody is in the Vancouver, B.C. area on July 10th, I will be speaking at the monthly meeting of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada - Vancouver Centre. The meeting is on the Campus of Simon Fraser University at 7:30 pm.
Subject - Mars exploration and my efforts to map it. This is their website - nothing on it yet but there should be soon. http://rasc-vancouver.com/ Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.

Looking forward to hearing your talk in Vancouver!
(Do you know if you are speaking at the Downtown campus, or the main campus on top of Burnaby Mountain?) |

I'll be there for sure! It's July, so the chance of rain is probably as low at 50/50...

The room has been reserved now. 32 RSVPs so far!
Edit: Quick comment post-talk for those who weren't there. This was a great intro to the topic with a nice balance of technical details while also keeping the audience entranced by the obligatory pretty and not so pretty pictures. There was even new details, like the latest theory about what Mars 3 'saw'. I was the fellow in the white shirt asking about Curiosity's drill disturbing the soil (I just wanted to draw the audience attention to that amazing detail). New folks coming here from the talk: welcome! |
