Weekend at Yosemite, moon in Monroia!

Getaway weekend suggestion! Come up to Yosemite's Glacier Point! Mojo and I are heading up to Glacier Point with the San Jose Astronomical Association this labor day weekend . Jupiter should be magnificent. The only moon we expect to see is early in the morning when a slender crescent rises above Half Dome as seen from the Glacier Point amphitheatre.This magic happens from July through Labor Day. But speaking of the moon, the countdown is on! International Observe the Moon Night is September 18th! There is a fantastic website here: http://observethemoonnight.org/downloads/. I linked to the page with the awesome moon map handout. :-) Anyways, my September 2010 What's Up Podcast is all about this moon - check it out here! Many versions and a link to iTunes http://solarsystem.nasa.gov/news/whatsup-view.cfm?WUID=564 Youtube http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=JPLnews#p/u/0/wq0XfghpHH0 If you want some NASA lunar lithographs handouts for your club's September 18th International Observe the Moon Night event, send me a note with mailing address and telephone number at that address and I will send out a nice handout -I can handle 50-100 handouts. Request before the 10th and my package should arrive in time. Now back to your regular programming! :-) -- Jane Houston Jones Monrovia, CA My What's Up Podcast: Sept 2010: NASA http://is.gd/eSMhz Youtube http://is.gd/eSMnh Twitter: http://twitter.com/jhjones /CassiniSaturn /otastro Blog: http://jane.whiteoaks.com/
