** EME Yuri's night **

Friends, Plans are being worked on for a big, coordinated, world
wide EME (Moon Bounce) event for Yuri's Night, 2011 on or about
April 12. Good moon positioning for Arecibo tracking if they can
come on board. Young folks/Educators/STEM/Live Media (like the
vidcast broadcasts done at Arecibo ) / Big Dish/Big Antenna-Small
Antenna/ participation is strongly encouraged. There has been EME
activity in prior Yuri's nights, the one at NASA Ames is notable
memorable. Hope to bring a lot of big dishes on board, as enablers
of Smaller Antenna success, and maximum publicity, science outreach
exposure .Lots of time to build an event format. Feeback encouraged

** From Space Weather.com **

METEOR SHOWER: The University of Western Ontario meteor radar is
picking up strong returns from the Southern Delta Aquarid meteor
shower, which peaks on July 28th and 29th. Sky watchers
(particularly in the southern hemisphere) should be alert for
meteors between about 10 pm and dawn. "Visual rates could be as
high as 20 per hour," notes Bill Cooke of NASA's Meteoroid
Environment Office, "although glare from the nearly full Moon will
make the fainter meteors difficult to see."
