Our monthly meeting originally scheduled for October 14 at the Rocky River Nature Center was canceled. The nature center parking lot was being resurfaced. The meeting was rescheduled for 7:30 p.m., October 21.

The October 2019 meeting of the Cuyahoga Astronomical Association (CAA) will feature a presentation by club member and Cleveland State University Research Astronomer Jay Reynolds. The historic 1969 Apollo 11 moon landing will be the focus of the talk which will progress into NASA’s next steps in crewed space exploration following the end of the shuttle program.

The CAA’s monthly meetings are held on the second Monday of every month except December at 7:30 p.m. in the Rocky River Nature Center; 24000 Valley Parkway; North Olmsted, Ohio, in the Cleveland Metroparks. Meeting programs are open to the public. Following the presentation and a brief social break, the club will conduct its membership business meeting.

The September 2019 meeting of the Cuyahoga Astronomical Association (CAA) will feature a presentation by Dr. Stacy McGaugh, Case Western University Professor and Chair of Astronomy. In “Dark Matter and Gravity in the Universe,” Dr. McGaugh will discuss his work on the search for dark matter and the possibility that it does not exist and we simply do not understand gravity! He has co-authored several papers outlining this controversial view.

The CAA’s monthly meetings are held on the second Monday of every month except December at 7:30 p.m. in the Rocky River Nature Center; 24000 Valley Parkway; North Olmsted, Ohio, in the Cleveland Metroparks. Meeting programs are open to the public. Following the presentation and a brief social break, the club will conduct its membership business meeting.
