Community Stuff 6/5/14
Gloucester Area Astronomy Club event June 13
The theme of the June 13 meeting of the Gloucester Area Astronomy Club is “Come to a star party this year!”
What is a star party! How should one behave? What can we expect? When is the next one?
We’ll talk about star party etiquette, what you can expect to see, and we’ll let you know what’s coming up. For starters, we’ll talk about our Sun Day party on the boulevard, at the fisherman statue, from 5 to 9 on Sunday June 22, and our first Halibut Point star party from dusk to 10:00 on the 27th, with more to come later in the summer. And this year we’ve got a new star party to talk about, just a short drive away in Maine.
The main event at the June meeting will be a colorful and entertaining presentation by GAACster Dwight M. Lanpher on the upcoming 6th annual Acadia Night Sky Festival, held in Maine’s Acadia National Park at the end of September. Maine, luckily, still offers a relatively close really dark sky, and the festival Dwight will speak to us about is getting to be a major east coast event. We’re really looking forward to a fun and informative evening, and hope to see you there. Bring a friend, this is going to be a good time!
GAAC meets at 8:00 on the second Friday of the month at the Lanesville Community Center, 8 Vulcan Ave. Parking is free, and there are no dues or fees; it won’t cost you anything to come to a GAAC meeting, ever.

GMR and Schooner Adventure happenings
Hi Joey,
The Gloucester Marine Railway is a busy place these days. Everyone is busy getting their boats ready now that
we have some warm weather. The tug Towline is being painted. The Ardelle came out on Monday and was
powerwashed, Harold Burnham expects her to go back in Wed morning at high tide, about 5 a.m. The Adventure’s crew are
very busy painting, caulking, and replacing the outer section of the stem. Geoff Deckenbach expects her to go
back in on Wed evenings high tide, about 5 p.m. The Adventure will motor over to the Harbor Loop which she will make
her new home by the Maritime Museum. Meanwhile, the Phyllis A’s team is raring to go with her restoration, we are awaiting
word on when she can come up into dry dock. Workers pictured include Geoff, Manny from GMR, John Miles, Tony Finnociarro,
Sarah Tuvim, Katherine Richmond of KR Painting all on the Adventure, and Doug Parson’s with the Phyllis A. Michael Bergman
stopped by. He is very anxious to get back onboard to continue working on making the rat’s rails (ladder like structure up to the
top of the masts).

Ginormous Moth and Live Butterflies at the Berkshire Museum!
In the above Vine from the Berkshire Museum exhibit “Butterflies,” you can catch a glimpse of the ginormous Attacus atlas, the world’s largest moth. Atlas Moths are found in the tropical and subtropical forests of Southeast Asia and are common across the Malay archipelago. The female Atlas Moth, which is appreciably larger than the male, may have a wingspan of up to ten inches-imagine, nearly a foot! Attacus atlas is a member of the Saturn Family of moths, as are the North American Luna and Cecropia Moths. For comparison sake, our gorgeous Cecropia Moth has a wingspan of up to six inches.

BREAKING NEWS: Stage Fort Park Trolley Shuttle is BACK!
We just got word from Bob Ryan at CATA that, since the Blynman Bridge weight restriction has been lifted, he was able to scramble and get the Stage Fort Park Trolley Shuttle up and running starting on June 21! See the trolley schedule here. This is excellent news for everyone who drives in Gloucester during summer weekends because it means fewer cars — as well as anyone who benefits from tourists coming to Gloucester (which is just about everybody who lives and/or works here as I explain in this post).
Way to go Bob!
