Monthly Meeting (Continued)


Our next meeting will be a lot of fun--down at Tarleton State University in Stephenville as guests of Dr. Michael Hibbs.  We will start with a pizza dinner, then go into the new planetarium to enjoy "Through the Eyes of Hubble", where we will join narrator Gates McFadden (Star Trek-The Next Generation's Dr. Beverly Crusher) in a 42-minute journey, which chronicles the first year of science after the first repair mission to the Hubble Space Telescope. We will explore distant galaxies, stand perilously close to the edge of a black hole, and relive Comet S-L9's encounter with Jupiter. We will also witness the birth and death of stars and follow the mission from the dramatic nighttime launch of the Space Shuttle Endeavor to its successful re-release of the telescope.

Directions to Stephenville, Tarleton State, and the Science Building are shown below.  It takes about an hour to drive down there--it WILL be worth it, so plan to attend!

Meeting Location


Here is a Stephenville map that shows where the Science Building is located. Note, visitor parking is on the north side of the building. To get here come down Hwy 377 from Benbrook, through Granbury to Stephenville, (about 55 miles). As you approach Stephenville, take Hwy 377 Business through downtown and (about 2 miles west of the square) turn right on Lillian. The Science building will be on the left.
