All Things Meteor: Meteorites, Meteorwrongs, and Meteormaybes

The Denver Astronomical Society (DAS) promotes the enjoyment and understanding of astronomical phenomena, history and lore by providing educational and observing opportunities for our members, education to the general public, and outreach activities at the University of Denver's Historic Chamberlin Observatory, schools, and nature centers.

Presented by
Dan Wray and Ron Hranac, Personal Collectors
for The Denver Astronomical Society

The June general meeting will feature a "tag-team" program on meteoroids, meteors and meteorites by DAS President Ron Hranac and EBoard member Dan Wray.

Ron and Dan will be giving a formal PowerPoint presentation on "all things meteor" and will have a few meteorite specimens for folks to get some hands-on with, as well as some "meteor-wrongs" to show how easy it is to mistake terrestrial rocks for those from space. Ron and Dan are both meteorite collectors, so expect some interesting, historical and exotic space-rocks to be on display as well.

The meeting will start with a short business meeting. As usual, there will be a reception at DU's Historic Chamberlin Observatory with refreshments after the meeting, to which all participants are invited.
