[Chaos-l] Shooting Star Party at the Zoo

[matted]

Not sure if anyone saw this, but the NC Zoo is having an astronomy event...
I am not sure about going, but thought I'd pass it along as this seems like
a really nice outreach event.

When:* Wednesday, 11/18/2009
 *Where:* African Parking lot
Time: 7 - 10 p.m.

Pack some blankets, bundle up and turn into the African Parking Lot to watch
some shooting stars with us.

We will have hot chocolate and cookies available to warm you as you search
for meteors showering down from Gemini.

You must pre-registered to attend. (We need to know how much hot chocolate
to make!)

Cost is $5 unless you bring a telescope and promise to let other visitors
sneak a peek through your lenses.  Telescope toters get in free.

We will open the parking lot to registered meteor watchers from 7 - 10 p.m
on November 18.  The Zoo will be turning out the lights around the parking
lot to make it darker than usual, so be sure to pack a flashlight (and cover
the light with red cellophane) to use in walking around.

If it is raining, we will cancel.  If the skies are clear, we will meet you
in the African Parking Lot, down near the entrance.

To register call Karen Powell (336-879-7250)kpowell at nczoo.com
