[X] My Assistant

[volcanopele]

I will be giving a talk to the Tucson Amateur Astronomy Association on Friday, December 1 at 7:30pm in the Steward Observatory Lecture Hall here on the University of Arizona campus. I will be talking for an hour (plus Q/A time) on Cassini's results at Titan so far, particularly the results from the ISS camera. I will also talk a little about the results from RADAR and VIMS, but mostly ISS. I will also diverge a bit into Enceladus, but only a little. I'm sure UMSF members in the Tucson region are welcome and I would love to see you there.

Edit: yeah, I just realized that the First is tomorrow, not saturday...

In my entire life I have been in Tucson exactly once: last week Thurs, Fri, Sat.

So you couldn't have given your presentation LAST Friday?????

I know it was Thanksgiving break, and we are talking a University here, but still......

Oh well, at least while my friend was giving me the guided tour of the town we drove by the Planetary Sciences building, and later on he showed me the home of Gerard Kuiper (with the small obersatory still in the backyard). My buddy had walked by the house a lot when he was a kid, and knew that an astronmer named Kuiper lived there, but he had no idea what the Kuiper belt was until I told him about it. So when I was in town he made a point of taking me past it.
