2025 MAS Monthly Meeting – Featured Speaker: Peter Birren

The MAS will be hosting a hybrid in-person & ZOOM Monthly Meeting.  MAS meetings are free and open to the public. JOIN US!

Featured Speaker: Peter Birren

Topic: Objects in the Heavens

Peter Birren is retired from his graphic and marketing design business of 45 years. He moved a few years ago from under the monster light dome of Chicago to the Bortle 4 skies of Kentucky. He is a self-taught cosmic voyeur – assembling and creating his book, “Objects in the Heavens”, became his classroom. After years of hang gliding and camping out in the country, the night sky became a real draw, so the curiosity grew and developed into the book. OITH eventually came into being to answer the question of “What is it, where is it and can I actually see it?”

Peter’s talk involves his journey into astronomy and he will share with us a couple of discoveries he’s made. Questions will be allowed at any time during and after the presentation. 

COVID-19 PROTOCOL:  Masks are welcome, but not required at the Monthly Meeting.  Reminder if you are feeling ill or have been around someone who has been ill, PLEASE STAY HOME!!

Meeting Location:
AŊPÉTU TÉČA Education Center (formerly the Fairview Community Center)
1910 County Road B West
Roseville, Minnesota 55113

The hybrid meetings will be recorded on ZOOM, and post-edited for publication after a few days on the MAS YouTube Channel.

You can probably hear best with a headset but your computer’s speaker and microphone will also work.

Dialing-in with a phone:

• Meeting ID:  871 1091 0626
• Passcode: 911955
• Number: +1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)

In order to ensure the most success we are asking everyone to follow a couple of rules:

• Don’t turn on your camera – it sucks up bandwidth and we really don’t need to see you.
• Keep your microphone muted until you are prompted during a question and answer session during the presentation. This will cut down background noise substantially.
• You can request to ask a question in the chat area of the Meet and wait to be prompted by the moderator.

We hope you can join us.
Clear skies!
