The title was 'NYC Events for November 2006'! I forgot to update the title from November to December!! This caused some mega mixup. You tossed out what at first looked like an old issue, then you could not find the current one! I, too, discarded a bunch of 'November' leftovers. I corrected the archive copy of NYC Events. One long-running event now has a name 'Top of the lawn' or 'Team TOTL'. This is the informal group of astronomers who meets on clear nights on the north walk of Great Lawn in Central Park. Contacts for the Cafe' Science are updated and a new email address is included. The website for Westchester Amateur Astronomers is out of action as at late December. This kicked its Yonkers general meeting and Ward Pound Ridge starviewing into the 'XX Jan' section. I again thank you for sending me notices of interesting events. Do understand that NYC Events is primarily a consolidated roster of astronomy and space activities, not a general one of all kinds of events. That's why I include only a selection of 'cultural' activities, those with an extra 'Wow' factor in them. January 2007 finds a large number of events in the 'XX Jan' box! These events reasonably have sessions in January but word about them is ambiguous or missing. If your expected event is in that 'XX Jan' section, please ask at its contacts about January sessions. Event news -------- Adorama Camera had on December 3rd a Celestron Day. Celestron demoed many scopes in the store's newly redone 5th floor astronomy room. A highlight was the demo of Celestron's SkyScout star finder.

NYC Events 2/2 Jan 4/ 5
Continued from previous message.
Being indoors, the device could not lock onto the GPS and magnetic field. It sis play the builtin narrations and show its eyepiece displays. On Tuesday 5 December the Intrepid museum ship was moved from its home at Pier 86, North River, to Bayonne, New Jersey, for a 2-year overhaul. The ship, a WW II aircraft carrier, tried to move on December 8th but was caught on mud and muck. After 4,000 trucks of the stuff was dug out, six tugboats totaling 26,000 horsepower, slowly hauled the ship to a Navy pier in Bayonne. There it stayed for a few days until its repair yard was ready for it. The Hubblelicious shows during December were well attended by NYSkiers and National Space Society members. I went to the show at Cosmic Cantina, near Union Square, Manhattan. Dave and india, the film makers, screened clips from the cinema 'Saving Hubble', provided refreshments and cheer. The film is due for release in summer of 2007. There was a real glitch for the play 'Tesla' on Monday 11 December. NYC Events noted the curtain rise at 19:00, taken from notices about the play. When my readers arrived, even a little early, the play was already in progress! It started at 18:00 by a last minute change of hour. Please remember that events at the New York Academy of Sciences convene at its new offices in 7 World Trade Center. The old home on 63 St and 5 Av was sold off. By good luck, if you go there by mistake, it's a quick train ride to 7WTC. Walk to 60 St and 5 Av. Enter 5 Av station, BMT 60 St line. Ride the first downtown train, any route. If it is a local, ride it to City Hall station. If it's an express, change to a local at Union Sq. From City Hall walk south and west to 7WTC at Greenwich St and Vesey St. The NYSkies Astronomy Seminar continues to attract an informed and lively audience each session. On December 2nd it featured not one, not two, but THREE speakers! I was already slated for a talk on the sunshine effect at Ground Zero. Then, within a day or two of the meeting, NYSkier Claudio Veliz returned from Kitt Peak to report on his work there on cataclysmic variable stars! And, also a day or two in advance, an astronomer visiting from Argentina inquired about the Seminar. He, Dr Alfred Bennun, gave a brief introduction to his own ideas about the cosmic background radiation and the Hubble expansion. The Seminar on January 4th is 'Happy Perihelion Day' for NYSkies. No special presentation, but a couple balloons and extra refreshments. Come on down! Sky News ------ Generally cloudy, yet mild and calm, weather hampered routine stargazing in December. Most clearsky starviewings were cancelled. The Pleiades occultation on December 3rd was clouded out. As afternoon progressed, the sky grew hazier and hazier. An hour before the occultations began, the Moon was smothered in haze, rapidly thickening into cloud. The series of Moon crossings continues into 2007 but the City misses most of them. There were scattered reports of aurora on December 14th and 15th from our upstate districts. They noted that clouds interfered with the viewing, which was mostly bright glows in the local northwest horizon. In the City, there ws no definite aurora activity and the sky was covered in thin cloud. Clouds interdicted views of the planet convention in the morning dawn in mid December. We caught glimpses of Mercury, Mars, and Jupiter, sometimes one at a time. Mars was the hardest to spot due to his dimness and low altitude in dawn. January 3rd is Perihelion Day. Many astronomers want a nonanthropic way to celebrate the new year, Some celebrate the winter solstice, but that's but for us in the north a particularly 'happy' occasion. So Perihelion Day is the favorite way to give cheers for the new year. A few even send out happy Periehlion greeting cards! Perihelion Day is also a way to have a party away from the congestion party calendar of December. So, NYSkies on January 4th has its 'Happy Perihelion' session. We MAY have a bright comet in mid January. Comet McNaught 2006-P1 rounds perihelion on January 12th and COULD reach 2nd magnitude. Even if it does, it'll be only 15 degrees north of the Sun in strong evening twilight. It'll take some really clear sky, keen eyesight, and lots of luck to spot it. I give the details under January 1st. NYSkies ----- Astronomers are exploiting NYSkies as a quick, handy, friendly, and potent source of astronomy news relating to the City. And there is LOTS of astronomy stuff going on around New York! Since it revived on 28 September 2001 (it was interrupted by World Trade Center) NYSkies became the definitive forum and public record for matters bearing on home astronomy in and around New York. Joining NYSkies is easy. Send an empty email to this Yahoogroup maillist at '. Its posts are sent to you in your email and you post to it by email. It's that simple! Or you may go to 'groups.yahoo.com/group/nysky'. If you are already signed up with Yahoo, you go and sign in and then 'join' NYSkies. If not, you have to go thru a silly 'registration' that's a one shot chore, valid for all groups you may eventually join. The files area of NYSkies are accessible only thru the website.
