Announcements

Our final exam is done; grades will be posted - I hope - by the end of the year.

I hope to see as many of you as possible in physics and astronomy classes next semester. Astro 61: Current Problems in Astronomy and Astrophysics is a good class in which to stretch your newly developed astronomy brain cells.

New: Check out some of the images members of the class took at the Peter van de Kamp Observatory while collecting photometric data of an open cluster for our lab.
