General News
----------
I got generally good thanks for leaving out the spaces between
entries within each day. The indenting alone seems enough to separate
the entries. The only minor comment I got is that some readers skim
down the page NEXT TO THE HOURS for the event location. The spaces
between entries did help to show them better than now with the entries
compacted. Comments are wanted and welcome.
Two upstate astroclubs may have suffered a glitch. Catskills Astro
Club's website is out of service during compilation of NYC Events and
Orange County Astronomers still has a 2005 calendar of events on its
website. (Orange's meeting in the February NYC Event swas mistakenly
copied from this ediurnatte calendar.)
Two Boots Theater, East Village, has several films and videos of a
scientific slant; please check out its website. I give here the first
of them on Sunday 5 March as an example.
Earth Institute and Lamont-Doherty Observatory, both at Columbia
University, have a score of astro-related meetings in March. I put in
only a few as samples.
There are many cultural tours in March, most requiring outdoor
exposure. Please be mindful of winter conditions in New York City
during the month. What may be fun to walk thru for shopping, visiting,
commuting could be devastating on an extended outdoor tour.
Astronomical Society of Toms River Area meets in the Fine Arts hal
of Ocean County College for its Feb thru May 2006 meetings., not in
the college's Novis Planetarium.
A spinoff of February's NYC Science and Engineering Fair was an
uptick of debate about science education in the City. There is
substantial validity that formal science schooling at the primary and
secondary level has serious shortcomings, not only in the City but
thruout the NYSkies territory. Yet at the adult plane, the City
supports a vigorous, thriving, vivid science interest, evidenced by
the constant stream of NYC Events entries for places outside the usual
science circles.

Event news
--------
The NYSkies Seminar continued its lively discussions of astronomy
news, with a lively and stable attendance on February 2nd and 16th. On
February 16th the Seminar featured its first film show, narrated by
Claudio Veliz, on the solar eclipse in Baja California in 1991. That
was the Big One of the 20th century which many NYSkiers -- before
there was a NYSkies! -- witnessed. Between chews of good donuts and
coffee, we discussed, besides the film, chemistry of hydrocarbons in
space and use of astronomy journals and trade newsletters.
The mega events of February were the annual NYC Science &
Engineering Fair at City College and the Greenwich Village Antiquarian
Book fair. The fair was called off, as explained in 'Sky news'. Fair
was rescheduled, and convened, on the 26th for a successful run.
Winners of that compo go into the fair on March 15th at the Marriott
hotel in Boro Hall, Brooklyn.
The Greenwich Village book fair was a smashing event with several
NYSkiers grabbing up fascinating items of astronomy. I myself found a
