NYC Events 2/2 Feb 5/ 6
Continued from previous message.
facilities by YE2006 got so intertwined that a disturbance on one line creates havoc on many others. In general, expect travel to or thru Brooklyn Downtown and Lower Manhattan to be disrupted every weekend. Event news -------- 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. The NYC chapter of NSS, by a late change in early January, had its January meeting on the 20th, not the 6th. The club sent out a notice, passed along to the NYSkies Yahoogroup forum. The NYSkies Seminar on January 4th was Happy Perihelion Day. No special feature, like banners or balloons, but an extra ample selection of refreshments. The session on the 18th covered cosmology and evolution with a full attendance under threat of snow later that night. It did snow after midnight with shallow accumulation that sublimed by mid morning on the 19th. Lower Manhattan was evacuated on 2007 January 23-25 because of a lethal virus that wiped out the human race. Only one person survived. OK, this was really a shoot for new sci-fi movie 'I am legend'. The scenes of mass exodus from Manhattan over Brooklyn Bridge and FDR Drive were filmed in South Street Seaport and Brooklyn Bridge area. The City's first of annual bookfairs ran on January 26-27 at the 69th Regiment Armory, Lexington Av and 25-26 St. Announced in early January, it was attended by several NYSkiers. who feasted on its many astronomy books. The next major bookfair is the Greenwich Village fair. Long Island gets its first bookfair of the year on February 3rd. Columbia University Observatory has TWO sessions in February! The one on February 2nd is a postponement from January. That on February 23rd is the regular scheduled session. A new space-theme movie 'Astronaut farmer' opens on February 23 at various cinemas in the City. By Warner Brothers, it's about a former NASA engineer, now a farmer, who builds his own spaceship. The NYSkies Seminar on February 1st hosts NYSkier Claudio Veliz on 'Observatory design on steroids'. He discusses the considerations, traditional and newly emerging ones, in planning an observatory structure. Sky News ------ The NYSkies region saw about the warmest ever December and it looked like it would see a very warm January. January did start off with spring temperature in the 20Cs. But!, as if to 'get things right', the air froze up in the last week of the month. Temperatures fell to the -10 to -15C!! Despite this, the month saw essentially no snowfall. It did flurry a bit on the 9th with no accumulation. Dustings of snow fell on several days there after but with no enduring ground cover. Thus, January 2007 scored the latest snowfall on record, breaking the old one for 4 January 1878. Generally cloudy, yet mild and calm, weather hampered routine stargazing in early January. By mid month, we had runs of sparkling clear skies. But, alas, the weather shifted from abnormal spring to typical winter. The night of January 25-26 enjoyed transparency deepen to fully 5th magnitude thruout the City -- with a 1st quarter Moon in the sky! -- and also a deepened freeze down to -15C. NYSkiers and other astros had good views of the Moon-Venus conjunction on January 20th under clear chilly skies. The Moon had strong earthshine with many landmarks visible on the night side of the globe. Comet McNaught was a tough object for the City. A run of clear nights helped immensely to allow brief views, with bare eye, of the comet in strong evening twilight. Its rapid southward track soon carried it both angularly and linearly away from the Sun, causing it to fade rapidly. By the 20s of January it was out of view from us. The meteorite that landed in a Freehold NJ house on January 2nd was exhibited at Rutgers University Geological Museum. The one-day show, on Saturday the 27th, was mobbed by about a thousand visitors, including several NYSkiers from New Jersey. The iron-nickel rock is only the second meteorite found in New Jersey, the first being in 1829. That was before meteorites were recognized as having celestial origin! 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.
