Albuquerque: Meet Dr. Hale of Hale-Bopp Comet Fame! @ Nat'l Atomic Museum

Dear Friends:
You are invited:
Saturday May 17th, 2008 5:30pm
The National Atomic Museum will host Dr. Alan Hale, author of “Everybody’s Comet: A Layman’s Guide to Comet Hale-Bopp.” Dr. Hale is the co-discoverer of the Hale-Bopp comet in 1995. Since that time he founded the Southwest Institute for Space Research, now the Earthrise Institute, in Otero County, New Mexico. Janet Asimov said in her preface to his book: “He…explains the science and history of comets, and gives practical advice about seeing them when they show up. His argument for scientific literacy is terrific, and his final sentence utterly compelling."

A seat can be reserved by calling the Museum at 245-2137, extension 114. The cost to attend the lecture is $10 for Museum members; $15 for non-members. For those who wish to pay in advance for four of the lectures, the cost will be $30 for members and $45 for non-members.
