[meteorite-list] MOON ROCKS ON DISPLAY - COLLEGE OF SOUTHERN NEVADA

[Starsinthedirt at aol.com]

Way to go Count!

Are you going  unannounced?  I would love to see the looks on the 
professors face when  they discover they have a meteorite celebrity in their class 
and he brought  Nevada's largest stoney meteorite!

I wish I could be there!  (Still  stuck in very rural Idaho)  Tom

Hello  List,

NASA provided "moon rocks" will be on display in Room C-123 at the  
Henderson Campus of the College of Southern Nevada located at 700 College Drive  in 
Las Vegas, Nevada this week. Included with the lucite encased moon rocks 
will  be a display of "hands on" meteorites for students and the public to 
inspect.  

Physics and Astronomy Professor Peter Lanagan and Chemistry Professor  
Charles Kotulski, who is NASA certified to handle moon samples, will give  
presentations open to students and the public:

Today, April 5th from  3:20PM till 5:30PM

Tuesday from 12:20PM till 2PM

Thursday from  12:30PM till 2:30PM

Friday from 9:00AM till 11:00AM

The two  professors stated that they hope the opportunity to see and handle 
 exta-terrestial material will inspire students to take an academic 
interest in  the physical sciences.

I plan to attend this afternoon's session and  bring some planetaries and 
the new Nevada record chondrite find with  me.

As mentioned...the sessions are open to the public. Listees who plan  to 
attend a session and would like to have a cup, or a glass, with me please  
contact off List.
