Hubble Space Telescope repair ace visits New Mexico
Posted in Current Events, General on October 18th, 2009 by Peter LipscombFriday night my son and I made a trip to New Mexico Tech in Soccoro and the Enchanted Skies Star Party (ESSP) to attend a presentation by NASA astronaut Dr. John Grunsfeld. I had been trying to get to the ESSP for a number of years and seeing this opportunity on the calendar made the evening a ‘must do’ event.
The ESSP is organized by New Mexico Tech Astronomy Club and a hard-working crew including current and former staff members of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory. The ESSP offers a comprehensive schedule of field trips, observing opportunities and educational lectures to afford all astronomers from novice to expert a quality experience.
