[Chaos-l] IOMN Success: Thanks Jayme

[Jon Stewart-Taylor]

Hi all.  IOMN at Burgaw Middle School went pretty well.  We had maybe  
a 15-20 kids and parents come out for the daytime activities, and stay  
for the evening observing.  They got to erode the surfaces of the  
earth and moon, orbit the sun and earth, travel the solar system from  
the sun out to Jupiter, mine the moon for minerals, direct asteroids  
and comets to impact the moon, and observe the moon through 3  
telescopes and two pairs of binoculars.  We even had a reporter and  
attending photographer, who asked questions and took pictures  
respectively.  CHAOS was mentioned prominently during the interviews.

Thanks especially to Jayme for making the long trek down to Burgaw to  
help out, and to to bring  one of the Duke 8"ers.  Much appreciated.

The next BMS astronomy to-do will probably be Astronomy Day in  
spring.  We'll keep you posted.

J.
