Get Pleasure from Milky Way

"Escape from Plato’s Cave: The Milky Way and the Galactic Coordinate" is the area under discussion of this month’s Estes Valley Astronomical Society (EVAS) gathering. EVAS, in combination with The Estes Park Memorial Observatory, is presenting a free of charge public open house/star night on Thursday, July 22. The doors will unlock at 7 p.m. and the conference will start at 7:30 p.m.

The visitor orator this month is Bill Tschumy, energetic in amateur astronomy for more than 25 years. He in recent times moved to Longmont, Colo., as of Austin, Teaxs, where he survived for the past 16 years. He was a great deal concerned in the Austin Astronomical Society for the duration of that time. Public star parties are a much loved of his and he loves to share his awareness of the sky with others.

He has written "Where is M13?" a free of charge software application that illustrate the 3-D locations and corporal properties of deep-sky objects in and around our galaxy. He has also worked with Carina Software to co-author their well-liked iPhone apps SkyVoyager and SkyGazer.

The majority amateur astronomers can discover their favorite objects in the night sky. On the other hand, when asked where those objects are situated in and around the galaxy, they are normally stumped. Tschumy will investigate why that is and afford an understanding of the 3-D nature of our galaxy and where our preferred objects actually lie.
