October 14 Meeting of the Gloucester Area Astronomy Club

October 2, 2016 ~ Michael Deneen

At this month’s meeting of the Gloucester Area Astronomy Club, Friday October 14, 8:00 pm at the Lanesville Community Center, we’re lucky enough to have our very own Mario Motta with a presentation on his latest science project, an investigation of a white dwarf star (WD 1145+017) in Virgo that is orbited by the remains of a disintegrating small planet or asteroid.

This is the star that was thought by some to have an alien mega structure around it, because of its very strange patterns of dimming and brightening. Alas, no aliens that we can see, but the truth is almost as interesting; the star seems to be tearing apart a small planet, leaving multiple small planetesimals and cometary trails in its wake. The destruction of an actual planet is bound to lead to a really enthralling tale, and this one has the benefit of being true.

Mario’s been following and charting this phenomenon, and is going to share the process and the results with us on the 14th. It’s always fun to have GAAC speakers who can report first-hand on actual astronomical events, and our October 2016 meeting will be one of those rare nights. This will be an evening of astronomy, decaf, good snacks and great conversation. Don’t miss this one!

GAAC meets at 8:00 pm on the second Friday of every month except August at the Lanesville Community Center, 8 Vulcan Street in Lanesville. All are welcome; you don’t need any special knowledge to have a great time. There are no dues or fees, and off-street parking is free as well. For more information see the club Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/GAACpage, the website at http://gaac.us, or follow us on Twitter, @GAACster.

Gloucester Dog Park Event – Halloween

October 2, 2016 ~ Joey C

Hi Joey,

  I just started a Meet-Up group called “Pomeranian People” and our first meet-up will be at the Gloucester Dog Park Halloween Photo Shoot, Costume & Agility Contest. I would appreciate it so much if you could spread the word about the Dog Park event in hopes of support of the dog park, but also anyone who is looking for a Pomeranian clan of friends… LOL. 

I felt not many people knew about last years event, and if people are aware in advance I believe the turn out will be awesome. Last year together we raised a lot of money for the Gloucester Dog Park’s Annual Budget, which includes the doggy bags supplied at the park, mowing and maintenance of the grounds- which is always great news for the dogs. 

This seriously awesome event is possible, because of the donations businesses and people make. There are winners for the contests and actually great gifts given to those winners. Last Years Prizes included….

GIFT CARDS GRACIOUSLY DONATED BY TD BANK NORTH IN GLOUCESTER.

GIFT BASKET DONATED BY ESSEX PET SHOP & BIRD SUPPLY

GIFT BASKET DONATED BY PETCO IN GLOUCESTER.

GIFT BASKET DONATED BY ANIMAL KRACKERS.

IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SUPPORT THIS 2016 EVENT, YOU CAN DO SO ONLINE AT WWW.GLOUCESTERDOGPARK.ORG OR SEND CHECKS TO THE GLOUCESTER FUND, 45 MIDDLE STREET, GLOUCESTER, MA 01930..AND WRITE THE GLOUCESTER DOG PARK IN THE MEMO LINE. THANK YOU!!

Also, If you are a crazy pom person… Please join us here…
