[Chaos-l] Fw: Telecon this Tuesday: NEOs in 2013 and beyond

[Tony Rice]

Just wanted to make sure everyone had seen this.  Should be an interesting talk.  We heard a bit about comet ISON from Dr. Green his talk after Astronomy Days for RAC and CHAOS and it will hopefully be a once in a lifetime event.
