Title: An Artist In Residence - Celebrating the 50th Anniversary of Kitt Peak National Observatory
Location: Powell Hall, Florida Museum of Natural History (Lucille T. Maloney Classroom), UF Campus, Gainesville FL
Preview: Local artist and AAC member Tim Malles will give a brief multimedia presentation sharing his experiences as an "artist in residence", celebrating the 50th anniversary of Kitt Peak National Observatory. In all, eight artists of the IAAA, the International Association of Astronomical Artists, gathered for a week's residency where they were given exclusive behind the scenes access to the great telescopes and observing programs of the world's largest observatory, to inspire their creative efforts. This program will include a brief history and overview of Kitt Peak, and a look at some of the important research work being done there today. Tim will have a special display of his Space Art, including paintings created at Kitt Peak.
About the Speaker: Tim Malles is a professional artist living in Gainesville, FL. Much of his artwork is inspired by astronomy themes, and he was accepted as a Juried Artist Member of the International Association of Astronomical Artists in May 2009. He has been an active member of the AAC since 2001, serving as Star Party Chair, Board Member, Programs / Publicity Chair and volunteering in various AAC activities and public outreach events. As a volunteer of the AAC, he contributed efforts to the construction, design and installation of the Gainesville Solar Walk, including the design and installation of the bronze information plaques.

Title: Making the First Massive Objects in the Universe : Galaxies, Quasars and Black Holes
Location: Powell Hall, Florida Museum of Natural History (Lucille T. Maloney Classroom), UF Campus, Gainesville FL
PARKING ALERT!
Phillips Center for Performing Arts has major evening event ("The Opera Show") same night beginning 7:30 p.m. (Many people often begin arriving by 6:30– 6:45 p.m.) Come Early to Park
Preview: Dr. Fred Hamann will be using movies and other results from numerical simulations to show these first massive objects from soon after the Big Bang.
About the Speaker: Dr. Hamann received his Ph.D. at the State University of New York at Stony Brook (SUNY) in 1987, and subsequently worked as a research fellow at the Carnegie Observatories, the Ohio State University, and the University of California at San Diego, before joining the faculty at UF in 1999. His main interests are studies of quasars, active galaxies, galaxy evolution, early-epoch star formation, elemental abundance evolution, circumstellar environments of pre- and post-main sequence stars, and nebular astrophysics.
Professor Hamann is something of a tradition at AAC meetings. He has unselfishly spoken to the AAC numerous times in past years including May 2004 (Twinkle, Twinkle, Huge Explosion: The Story of Gamma-Ray Bursts), February 2005 (From Darkness Into Light: The End of the Dark Ages), July 2006 (Life on the Edge: The Story of Eta Carinae), and October 2008 (Which Came First, the Chicken or the Egg? — Super-massive Black Holes and the Birth of Galaxies). His wonderful talks are always interesting, informative and enthusiastically received. They are also easily understandable by even novice star gazers, and he is very patient with our numerous questions.
TUESDAY, MARCH 9, 2010, 7:00 p.m. ET
Speaker: Dr. Howard Eskildsen

Title: Hooked on the Moon - A Light-hearted Look at the Joys of Lunar Observing.
Location: Powell Hall, Florida Museum of Natural History (Lucille T. Maloney Classroom), UF Campus, Gainesville FL
Preview:
About the Speaker: Alachua Astronomy Club member Howard Eskildsen grew up under clear, dark skies in the heartland of Nebraska where the Milky Way appeared as a great, shining veil across the summer skies. It lured him to study the stars, and as an adolescent he frequently obsessed over small things, like: "Which one of those two stars is Alpha Capricorni?" Later he learned that it was a double star and they both were—sort of. Wow, that was a long time ago.
These days (40 years later) he likes to obsess about the moon with questions like: Why is the Western Chain on the East side of the moon? and Why is Mare Orientale (the Eastern Sea) is on the West side? Or other things like: How old are the craters? Are there volcanoes on the moon? Do impacting objects ever skip over the moon like a rock on a pond? Why are some areas smooth and some pockmarked? What are those bright streaks on the full moon? What the heck is a swirl, a basin, a rille, a dome? And so on… He did eventually find some of the answers and is willing to share this and other amazing, mostly-true bits of information about the moon to anyone who attends his light-hearted presentation of Hooked on the Moon.
When not practicing medicine, Howard has photographed the moon and the sun regularly since 2003 and has had photos appear on the Lunar Photo of the Day, Astronomy.com, Spaceweather.com and on the ALPO Solar Section website. Several have been published in Selenology, The Lunar Observer, and on the cover of the spring 2008 issue of the The Journal of the Association of Lunar and Planetary Observers. During the past year he has given presentations about the Moon, the solar minimum and lunar photography. He has also written several articles and some poetry about the moon and the sun that have been read by almost a dozen people, including his mother who didn't really understand it, but was “really proud.”
So, if you are interested in the moon, possess a morbid curiosity of the speaker, or if you are just plain bored, attend “Hooked on the Moon.” Don’t worry, you don’t have to be “really proud” to attend; Howard will understand.
TUESDAY, APRIL 13, 2010, 7:00 p.m. ET
Speaker: Bob O'Connell
E-Mail: thestardoggedmoon "at" gmail "dot" com
Title: Revisiting "The 1963 Aristarchus Events"
Location: Powell Hall, Florida Museum of Natural History (Lucille T. Maloney Classroom), UF Campus, Gainesville FL
Preview: Transient Lunar Phenomena [TLP] are unexplained changes in the normal appearance of the Moon which have been reported for hundreds of years. There are more than 1900 catalogued accounts which include: obscurations, areas of increased brightness and highly localized colored glows. This presentation examines the two most credible, well documented observations of reddish and bluish glows. These were seen on the Aristarchus Plateau on two separate nights, from Lowell Observatory, late in 1963.
Since project Apollo’s verdict that our Moon is a volcanically inert “dead world,” TLP reports have been dismissed by mainstream lunar science. However, an examination of the appearance and behavior of the Lowell phenomena suggests they were real objective events on, or local to, the lunar surface. This conclusion is supported by Columbia University TLP research, published in the 2009 Astrophysical Journal, which suggests a possible non-volcanic explanation for these long dismissed, unexplained lunar color phenomena.
Note: Due to the length of Bob's talk, the conclusion of this fascination presentation has been scheduled for June 8. Don't miss it.
About the Speaker: Alachua Astronomy Club member Bob O'Connell has been fascinated with astronomy since his first view of the Moon through a small refractor, at the age of five. His interest for the past five years has been researching the controversial issue of Transient Lunar Phenomena. Bob, along with Don Loftus, gave a presentation on TLP at the August 2006 meeting. Bob also gave a presentation, Why and How to Observe the Moon in August 2007. He currently uses a 7.1" Maksutov-Cassegrain for lunar observing.
Bob has been instrumental in developing the club's Lunar Oservering Group. The activities have grown steadily over the past three years. If your interest is piqued by Bob's presentation, you're invited to attend the April LOG Session on lunar imaging.
Bob is a registered nurse in Gainesville, and holds a degree in Political Science from the University of Colorado at Denver. He lives in Keystone Heights, FL with his wife Jane, and their cats: Kitty, Crater and Aristarchus.
TUESDAY, MAY 11, 2010, 7:00 p.m. ET
Speaker: Tippy D'Auria
E-Mail: mdauria-r "at" retiree "dot" mdc "dot" edu
Title: Solar Heliocentric Illustration Tissue: A New Way to Measure Astronomical Distances
Location: Powell Hall, Florida Museum of Natural History (Lucille T. Maloney Classroom), UF Campus, Gainesville FL
Preview: This presentation takes one on an imaginary stellar journey, from the Sun out to one of our nearest stars, Sirius. This trip is taken at the speed of light, stopping along the way at each of the planets, using a new method for measuring distances at each stop. This new method is one that will make even old timers remember some of the distances. This is a great outreach presentation. It is both funny and informative.
About the Speaker: Tippy D'Auria is a retired Electronics Engineer and has a degree in Electronics Engineering Technology, and a degree in Computer Integrated Manufacturing. He has been an active astronomer since 1980. He is currently a member of the Southern Cross Astronomical Society and has served as a member of the Societies Board of Fellows and was a Vice President of that Society for many years as well. Tippy is also a member of the Local Group of Deep Sky Observers, the Institute for Planetary Research Observatories (IPRO), Association of Lunar and Planetary Observers (ALPO), The Alachua Astronomy Club and the Astronomical League. He is also a founding board member of Astronomy Outreach Network and an advisor for the Meade 4M Community.
Tippy is the founder of the Winter Star Party which is sponsored by the Southern Cross Astronomical Society and has been the Chairman of that Star Party for thirteen of its twenty five years. Tippy D'Auria is an international lecturer and has lectured on Astronomy at many Universities and Astronomy Clubs. He has been a guest speaker at the Winter Star Party on eighteen different occasions and has also been a guest speaker at events such as the Texas Star Party, Mt. Kobau Star Party, Southern Star Conference, Hidden Hollow Astronomy Convention, Peach State Star Gaze, Starfest Convention, Highlands Star Gaze, Nebraska Star Party, Chiefland Star Party, the 4th Annual Congress of Central American Astronomers and many Astronomy Day Conferences.
In 1987 and 1988 he was awarded the Southern Cross Astronomical Societies "Joe T. Doris Service Award for Outstanding Contributions". In 1992 he was honored with a Lifetime Membership to the Southern Cross Astronomical Society for Meritorious Service to that Society. In 2001, Tippy received recognition for his contributions to amateur astronomy, as he was honored by the International Astronomical Union, when an asteroid was given the name "11378 DAuria". He received the 2007 Astronomical League Award for his many contributions to the astronomical community and in 2008 he received the Astronomy Outreach Award in recognition for his contributions for public outreach and education.
In April of 2001, Tippy led an expedition to the Volcanoes of Costa Rica, to film a National Geographic documentary called "The Volcano Hunters". In June of 2001, Tippy joined an elite group of some of the world's best planetary astronomers on a mission to record a predicted flash on the red planet...flashes that may be reflections from ice or other highly reflective land features on Mars in a region called Edom. This is the only existing video sequence of this event which made the IAU circulars and headlines throughout the global astronomy community. He is also the author of numerous articles and papers and co-authored, along with Vic Menard, the definitive book on telescope collimation, "Perspectives on Collimation - Principles and Procedures".
Tippy is also an amateur telescope maker who has several instruments of 2, 4.5, 6, 10, 12, 14, and 18 inch aperture. His main astronomical interests are astrophotography, deep sky observing and solar system observing.
He is also a volcano hunter, and enjoys exploring and photographing active volcanoes, and is a member of the International Volcano Watch team. Tippy last spoke to the club 2009 August 11 with a talk titled "Volcano Suite."

Title: What caused "The 1963 Aristarchus Events?"
(Our original presentation by Scott Fleming has been postponed)
Location: Powell Hall, Florida Museum of Natural History (Lucille T. Maloney Classroom), UF Campus, Gainesville FL
Preview: Bob O'Connell will conclude his April 13th presentation on "The 1963 Aristarchus Events" which remain the two most credible and well documented visual Transient Lunar Phenomena (TLP) reports on record. Bob will finish his presentation by highlighting recent and current lunar research which may finally hold the key to explaining what was observed by professional observers at Lowell Observatory in October and November 1963. It now appears some TLP are real objective lunar phenomena resulting from an infrequently occurring and complicated causal chain of events involving Earth-Moon geometry, lunar outgassing, dust lofting and solar radiation.
Note: This talk will be brief (20–25 min. + Q&A) since this is the conclusion of Bob's original (April presentation). The presentation should begin about 8:15 p.m. in order to allow for an extended social period.
About the Speaker: See April
TUESDAY, JULY 13, 2010, 7:00 p.m. ET
Speaker: David Cochrane
E-Mail: DavidC "at" AstroSoftware "dot" com
Title: Astrology: Science or Superstition?
Location: Powell Hall, Florida Museum of Natural History (Lucille T. Maloney Classroom), UF Campus, Gainesville FL
Preview: Although there is no clear, unambiguous evidence that astrology has objective validity, and the roots of astrology are in the divinatory practices of ancient Babylonia, the dismissal of astrology as a superstition that has managed to persist into modern times, is an overly simplistic view of a more complex phenomenon. The source of modern astrological thinking is more deeply rooted in the later Hellenic period, during the time of Pythagoras, Plato, and Euclid. The actual historical development of astrology, clearly documented by the outstanding scholarship of David Pingree and others, provides a better understanding of why astrology continues to hold a strong grip on a large percentage of people today and is a key to understanding what astrology really is. What occurs in many astrological readings, in modern times, is also fascinating. Many common concerns about astrology, such as the relationship of astrological zodiac signs misaligned with the corresponding constellations due to precession, implications of astrology on free will, and the relationship of astrology to physics and psychology, will be addressed.
Simply ignoring astrology has not caused it to go away, and even improved education of the public is not likely to succeed either in achieving this hope of the non-believer in astrology. In this lecture you will gain a better appreciation of what astrology is from someone who has expertise in the methods of both science and astrology. There will be time for questions and answers as well, and we will learn from one another.
About the Speaker: David received his B.A. degree in psychology in 1972, and in 2008 at 58 years of age entered a doctoral program at the University of Florida in Research and Evaluation Methodology in the Department of Education. David has achieved international recognition, but this is perhaps a dubious distinction because it is in the field of astrology. He is known for his pioneering work in quantitative research in astrology, and in developing new theoretical frameworks for astrology that integrate concepts from physics and psychology. He is the author of two books and past President of the International Society for Astrological Research. He is perhaps best known as the developer of the Kepler and Sirius astrology software programs. His development of "planet mandalas", intricate patterns created by planetary orbits, has been implemented in the Mathematica software by Stephen Wolfram and his colleagues. David has jointly authored three research papers with Dr. David Fink, psychology professor at Johnson State College, which are being submitted for publication in summer, 2010.
David has devoted the greater part of his adult life to understanding what astrology is. He strongly encourages academics and scientists to apply the same rigor, care, and scholarship in addressing astrology as they would to any other discipline. The historical and scientific facts regarding astrology can be surprising to both believers and non-believers.
David is an engaging speaker who inspires as well as educates, and he has received international recognition for his ability to present complex and innovative ideas in a succinct, simple and direct manner.
TUESDAY, AUGUST 10, 2010, 7:00 p.m. ET
Speaker: Joe Haldeman
E-Mail: haldeman at mit dot edu
Title: Space Travel—The Near Future and Far Future
Location: Powell Hall, Florida Museum of Natural History (Lucille T. Maloney Classroom), UF Campus, Gainesville FL
Preview: Joe will take a look at what the United States and other countries have planned for the post-Space Shuttle era of space exploration and industrialization. Then he will skip ahead and take a look at where we could be headed decades and even centuries hence. What are the limits imposed on space travel by relativity and other aspects of the nature of time and space? What is realistic—or do we have to be realistic?
About the Speaker: Joe Haldeman is an award winning writer of science fiction. He has written about two dozen novels appearing in about twenty languages. Joe has also won every major award for his science fiction, including five Hugo and Nebula awards, and three times the Rhysling Award for science fiction poetry.
Joe was recently honored and given the title of Damon Knight Memorial Grand Master of Science Fiction for 2010 (awarded to a living author for lifetime achievement in science fiction and/or fantasy).
His book, FOREVER PEACE (1998), won the Hugo, Nebula and John W. Campbell Awards, the first such "triple crown" in 22 years (since Pohl's GATEWAY). His masterpiece, THE FOREVER WAR (1976), a Vietnam metaphor set in an interstellar conflict, is being made into a major motion picture directed by Ridley Scott. This classic novel was reissued in trade paperback in February, 2009. THE FOREVER WAR was the first in a series, the "Forever War" that also includes FOREVER PEACE (1997), FOREVER FREE (1999), and PEACE AND WAR (2006). FOREVER PEACE also won both the Nebula and Hugo Awards.
A previous novel, THE COMING, is set in Gainesville, Florida, and involves the Astronomy Department at UF fifty years from now.
His most recent novels include STARBOUND, MARSBOUND, THE ACCIDENTAL TIME MACHINE, CAMOUFLAGE, which won the Nebula and Tiptree Awards, and OLD TWENTIETH. His newest book, STARBOUND (2010), is the second book in the "Marsbound Series," which began with MARSBOUND (2008).
Joe is a member of the Author's Guild, Writer's Guild, Science Fiction Writers of America, National Space Society (on Board of Advisors), Space Studies Institute. Served as SFWA Treasurer for 2-1/2 years; Chairman of their Grievance Committee for 18 months; President of Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America, 1992-1994.
Joe has been teaching at MIT for over twenty-five years where he is an adjunct professor and teaches writing every fall semester. Joe and his wife of nearly forty-five years, Mary Gay, travel extensively and he usually keeps a travel diary for major trips. They bicycled across America (3,050 miles or 4,900 kilometers) from Florida to California a few years back. Other activities include amateur astronomy, drawing and painting, guitar playing and cooking and a little fishing, canoeing, swimming, and snorkeling.
Joe has considered himself a full-time writer since 1970 and tries to write a little every day even while teaching at MIT. However, Joe also has other pastimes including painting and drawing. He has had several exhibits of his paintings in Gainesville in the last few years where he spends part of the rest of the year.
Joe has been an amateur astronomer since the Mars opposition in the mid-1950s. When he can, he seeks out dark skies for his 12" telescope. In addition, he is a long-time member of the AAC and has spoken to the club on many past occassions including The International Space Station (1999 May), Astronomy in Science Fiction (2001 July), Mars and Martians in Science and Science Fiction (2003 August), and Review of the 2008 Winter Star Party with Chuck Broward, Fred Heinrich & Tim Malles (2008 May).
Joe has a B. S. in astronomy, University of Maryland, 1967 and did graduate work there in math/computer science, 1969-70 so his books have a high degree of scientific accuracy. He was drafted 1967 and fought in the Central Highlands of Viet Nam as a combat engineer with the 4th Division (1/22nd Airmobile Bn.). He is a wounded veteran of this combat in Vietnam. He has a Purple Heart and other standard medals so many of his books intimately reflect his war experiences.
For more on Joe including a list of his books and numerous awards, see his biographical page and Wikipedia. Also see Joe's Place for recent journal entries.
