Welcome Back
Regular Meetings Resume & Getting Ready for Mars!
Summertime is winding down, pools are closing, students are going back to school, and the skies are beginning to clear up! Which all means that we are back on schedule for our regular TriState Astronmers Club meetings held on the third Wednesday of the month.
A Blast From the Past "Summertime’s Planetaries"
by C. J. Warner - TSA
Before summer gives way to fall, a word should be said on the many planetary nebulae that abound in the Milky Way.
In September, the drier air masses from Canada provide excellent viewing of the Milky Way which, as Jim Taylor noted in the August 1987 Newsletter, stretches continuously from Cassiopeia in the northeast to Scorpius in the southwest. Embedded in this soft, starry river in the sky are hundreds of planetary nebulae, which are small but relatively bright in overall surface brightness, This fact provides the amateur astronomer a multitude of mysterious objects to view, similar to one of the most fascinating object in the heavens, the Ring Nebula of Lyra.
Neutrino Astronomy 2
he Earth's atmosphere and other aspects of the earth's environment block most electromagnetic radiation from space, except visible light, certain infrared frequency and radio waves. To overcome this problem of ground-based observation, astronomers turned to space to widen their spectrum of wavelengths by using satellites, probes and orbiting observatories way above the Earth's atmosphere. But these methods offer only a small window on the full spectrum of events in the universe. However, with the discovery of high energy neutrino particles, (a direct messenger of some of the most violent physical processes in the universe, like blacks holes, neutron stars, active galactic nuclei and others) we will be able to open the window much wider.

Visible Evening Planets
JUPITER and VENUS are bright in the west early in the month.
MARS rises in the east late in the evening.
Visible Morning Planets
MERCURY is low in the east before sunrise early in the month.
SATURN rises before morning twilight.

Star Cluster NGC-6231
By Jim Taylor - TSA
On the cover of this Newsletter is a sketch of the brilliant star cluster NGC-6231 that I made some time ago. It is located just north of Zeta Scorpii, close on the southern horizon; Zeta is the bright star at the bottom of the sketch. This 3.5-magnitude star is an optical double, blue and orange, with a separation of about 7 arc-minutes, which is what attracted me to the area in the first place. But upon viewing the star cluster, I forgot about Zeta, for it is truly magnificent.
