by Ira Polans, Program Chair

Since the next meeting is on February 14 which is Valentine’s Day we’ve decided not to hold the meeting.

I can report that the program committee is continuing its work to find speakers for the remainder of the year. It looks like we have good speakers lined up for both March and April. Next month’s issue of Sidereal Times will provide the detail about the next talk.

In addition the program committee is planning to schedule a short meeting in either March or April to get the club member’s suggestions for speakers for next year (2017-2018). For example we’ve received comments about arranging a talk relating to radio astronomy. We would like your input for suggested speakers on this topic and others you would like to hear.

The March talk is about Exoplanets by Dr. Joshua N. Winn who recently joined the Princeton faculty after teaching for several years at MIT. We look forward to seeing you at the March meeting.

Happy Valentine’s Day!!
