Regular Monthly Meeting

The regular meeting of the AAAA will be held on Saturday, February 20th at 7:30 PM in the Story County Conservation Center, at McFarland Park .

Topic: The Inquisition and the Telescope

Sam Wormly will present on Galileo (1564-1642), one of the most remarkable men who ever lived. More than any one of his predecessors or contemporaries he introduced 'controlled experiment' as a means of gaining knowledge of nature. Join us as we explore how Galileo helped change or view of our place in the universe on this 400th anniversary of using a telescope to view the heavens.

The February meeting also includes election of officers for the coming year.
