Way to go Count!

Are you going unannounced? I would love to see the looks on the
professors face when they discover they have a meteorite celebrity in their class
and he brought Nevada's largest stoney meteorite!

I wish I could be there! (Still stuck in very rural Idaho) Tom

Hello List,

NASA provided "moon rocks" will be on display in Room C-123 at the
Henderson Campus of the College of Southern Nevada located at 700 College Drive in
Las Vegas, Nevada this week. Included with the lucite encased moon rocks
will be a display of "hands on" meteorites for students and the public to
inspect.

Physics and Astronomy Professor Peter Lanagan and Chemistry Professor
Charles Kotulski, who is NASA certified to handle moon samples, will give
presentations open to students and the public:

Today, April 5th from 3:20PM till 5:30PM

Tuesday from 12:20PM till 2PM

Thursday from 12:30PM till 2:30PM

Friday from 9:00AM till 11:00AM

The two professors stated that they hope the opportunity to see and handle
 exta-terrestial material will inspire students to take an academic
interest in the physical sciences.

I plan to attend this afternoon's session and bring some planetaries and
the new Nevada record chondrite find with me.

As mentioned...the sessions are open to the public. Listees who plan to
attend a session and would like to have a cup, or a glass, with me please
contact off List.
