Hello Night Sky Network Member,

We're going stellar with our Telecon, welcoming new NSN Clubs and the
Astronomy League's Astronomy Day Award listing.

>  Telecon May 19th: Stargazers, Starfarers, and Kepler with Dr. Jeffrey Van
Cleve
Our speaker Dr. Jeffrey Van Cleve, is an astronomer and support scientist on
the Kepler Team. His talk will describe NASA's mission in some detail, its
early results, and some thoughts about what it might mean from the
perspectives of the past, present, and future.
You won't want to miss this exciting telecon with an engaging speaker like
Dr. Van Cleve.

Call anytime after 5:45 pm the evening of the telecon. An operator will
