SUMMARY:Young Astronomers Group December
DESCRIPTION:This month’s meeting will be very collaborative and fun! We will do a quiz covering this year’s topic. So form up a team and be the best team of the year! The best team gets to discuss with the fellow teammates and come up with one object which I will use a very powerful online telescope! The image will blow your mind! \nRegards\nAlex

SUMMARY:Monthly Meeting December - The Peril and Profit of Near-Earth Objects
DESCRIPTION:This Month we will be screening a recent Silicon Valley Astronomy Lecture \nDr. Robert Jedicke (U of Hawaii) \nNear-Earth objects present both an existential threat to human civilization and an extraordinary opportunity to help our exploration and expansion across the solar system. Dr. Jedicke explains that the risk of a sudden\, civilization-altering collision with an asteroid or comet has markedly diminished in recent decades — due to diligent astronomical surveys — but a significant level of danger persists. At the same time\, remarkable strides have been made in advancing technologies that pave the way for a new vision of space exploration – one that involves missions and outposts within the inner solar system fueled by resources extracted from near-Earth asteroids. These objects contain exploitable extraterrestrial resources delivered free to the inner solar system\, and they have been naturally preprocessed into objects the ideal size for industrial operations. \nRobert Jedicke obtained his Ph.D. in experimental particle physics from the University of Toronto and held post-doctoral positions at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory and at the University of Arizona’s Lunar & Planetary Laboratory. At the University of Hawai`i’s Institute for Astronomy for the last 20 years\, he managed the development of the Moving Object Processing System for the Pan-STARRS telescope on Maui. \n \n  \nThe AAS has resumed holding supper after the monthly Society Meeting! Join us for snacks and beverages in the Stardome exhibit room following the lecture. It’s a great opportunity to connect with other Society members.
