Thursday, November 19 at 6:30 PM in the Founders Suite at the Prescott Public Library, Dr. Brent Archinal, a Geodesist at the US Geological Survey, will present "The Unveiling of Titan -- the Other Red "Planet"." He will discuss what we have learned about Titan from the Cassini-Huygens' mission. Cassini-Huygens is a joint mission of NASA, the European Space Agency, and the Italian Space Agency. NASA’s Cassini spacecraft will orbit Saturn for four years, making an extensive survey of the ringed planet and its moons. The ESA Huygens probe is the first to land on a world in the outer Solar System - on the surface of Titan, Saturn’s largest moon. Data from Cassini and Huygens may offer clues about how life began on Earth.

On Saturday evening November 21 the PAC will have a public star party at Watson Lake from 5:30 to 7:30 PM. PAC members will have telescopes and binoculars available for viewing by the public; of course, non members are welcome to bring their telescope and binoculars, or view through PAC members' equipment.
