The January meeting of the Huachuca Astronomy Club will be held on January 18 at 7 pm in the Student Union building at Cochise College. Our speaker is Dr. Everett Schlawin a Post Doc researcher at the University of Arizona. Everett is interested in what planets and their atmospheres are made of. He studies planet composition by observing transiting planets – planets that cross in front and behind their host stars. Everett is a member of the James Webb Space Telescope NIRCam team, led by Marcia Rieke. The unprecedented Webb telescope will enable giant leaps in our understanding of planet composition.
We will take Everett to diner at outback before the meeting. RSVP to Bill Howard (howardwj51 at gmail.com) if you would like to join us for dinner.
