Allies in Space
-------------
The second annual Allies in Space lecture on 'America's future in
space' is on Saturday 4 November 2006 at 13:00 at the City University
Graduate Center. The Center is on Fifth Av, between 34th and 35th
Streets, Manhattan. This year's lecture features three noted figures
in the US space program: Dr Richard Gott, Dr Neil Tyson, and Dr George
Whitesides. The show is free and open to the public, just come on
over. Details are at 'www.alliesinspace.org'.

Atlantis Shuttle launch
---------------------
Shuttle Atlantis was slated for liftoff in late August. Due to
storm Ernesto, which may intensify over Florida, the Shuttle may be
moved back to the Vehicle Assembly Building. If so, launch may take
place in early September.
As at late August, Hayden Planetarium and Cradle of Aviation
planned live telecast of the liftoff. Please check with them for
updates.

General News
----------
September is the start of the season for astronomy centers
following a school schedule. However, a few astronomy center websites
didn't yet update. They still got the material from the 2005-2006
season. Where I could, I extrapolated a September event patterned
after the old schedule. I could have guessed wrongly.
Pleawse review and update your websites.
PicNic Cafe' apparently ran only 3 of its Science Cafe' meetings,
the last in August. As at now there are no plans to continue them.
The NYC Urban Park Service runs a broad and varied program of
cultural tours thruout the City. As at issue time for NYC Events, its
September schedule is still not complete. Please visit

discussions of astronomy news, with a lively and stable attendance.
The session on August 17 featured the Seminar's first substitute
moderator. NYSkier Myrna Coffino filled in for John Pazmino, who was
at the 'New trends in astrodynamics' convention in Princeton NJ.
The September 7th Seminar, and the September 9th National Space
Society meeting, host John Pazmino on 'Gravity behaves like that?'.
This is the talk he presented at New Trends in Astrodynamics. If you
missed the conference, here's your chance to learn about captured
comets, resonant orbits, gravity assist and resist.
Governors Island winds up its 2006 season of relaxing,
sightseeing, and science lectures on September 2nd. If you want to get
in a final visit, do so NOW,
THe Connecicut Star Party runs on September 22-24. It offers
camping, stargazing, and other traditional starparty features.
With the nighttime stargazing sessions in full operation, please
understand that weather at night can be much cooler and windier than
by day. As silly as it may seem under daytime scorching Sun, bring a
sweater with you.

Sky News
------
Torrid humid weather is late July thru early August stifled
stargazing just about every where in the NYSkies territory. By mid
month, the sky dried out, allowing some really pleasant starviewing.
There were a few quite dark nights over the City, tho not yet
permitting the Milky Way to shine thru.
September opens the autumn season of Milky Way sighting. It runs
thru end of November for the best chance in New York City to spot the
Milky way. With the expereince of the last many yeasrs, the season is
shortened to end November from end December. It turned out that
December tends to be coloudy and the summer Milky Way sets in early
night.
The Perseid meteors were observed under clear dry skies. However,
the 3rd Quarter Moon washed out the dimmer meteors. For most viewers,
the show was worth the early morning effort.
Thankfully, only a few novice astronomers were fooled by the
stupid Mars procimity news from August. I know of one group who
planned to view Mars from an upstate site! Since it rained on the
weekend of proximity, perhaps the trip was caalled off?
It's nonsense like this Mars thing that drive us astronomers
crazy. It adds to the tuitional and educatinal burden we carry to a
totally excessive degree.
In the low southwest is Jupiter with Oval BA, the new junior red
spot. Oval BA or Red Spot Junior, is well ahead of the Great Red Spot
by end August.
Also in the soutwest, in southern Ophiuchus, is Pluto. Is he a
planet? The International Astronomical Union on August 24th removed
him from the ranks of the major planets. It classed Pluto, along with
Ceres and 2003-UB313, as a 'dwarf planet'.
So Pluto remains a 'planet'. He's a special category of planet,
like there are dwarf stars, dwaef galaxies, dwarf novae, and so on in
other sectors of astronomy. Hence, you may inspect Pluto and still
note that you are seeing a planet. He's no longer the FARTHEST planet,
with 2003-UB313 being a ways more distant.

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.

2ND ANNUAL LECTURE ON 'AMERICA'S FUTURE IN SPACE'
SATURDAY 4 NOVEMBER 2006, 1PM-5PM EST
CUNY GRADUATE CENTER, 5 AV & 34/35 ST, MANHATTAN
FREE AND OPEN TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC
------------------------------------------------
presenting three speakers from various areas
of the space program

Dr George Whitesides, National Space Society
Mr Tom Hill, aerospace author and journalist
Dr Neil Tyson, Hayden Planetarium
-------------------------------------------------
At the inaugural 2005 Allies in Space lecture. a dozen offering
space science and astronomy organizations promoted their activities to
the audience. They did so by including their litterature in the
information packet distributed at the lecture
This worked out so well that already, soonest the initial
announcement went out for the 2006 lecture, several groups are
offering litterature, If you missed last year's lecture, do avail of
this prime event to tell the public about your organization and
attract visitors and members to it.
The easiest, simplest, cheapest way to do this is to supply Allies
in Space with your existing US letter-size flyer, leaflet, folder for
your group. This can be the sheet you distribute at the Northeast
Astronomy Forum, starparties, Earth Day, Space & Astronomy Day.
Furnishing 180 copies will allow your flyer to be placed in the
packet so each guest gets your information, along with that of your
fellow groups. If you must supply fewer copies, they will be set out
at the reception table for pickup by the audience. Because the
audience is specificly interested in space science and astronomy, your
