The San Diego Astronomy Association holds monthly program meetings open to the public. Of interest to all the Martians out there, the September program will be presented by Tanya Harrison of Malin Space Science Systems and her topic is “CTX and MARCI—The Other Cameras Aboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.” Tanya currently works on the science operations team for NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) Context Camera (CTX) and Mars Color Imager (MARCI). More about Tanya can be found at tanyaharrisonofmars.com.

SDAA program meetings are held the third Wednesday of every month except December and January, starting at 6:30pm, with the presentation beginning around 7:30pm. The online SDAA Program Meeting information can be found at sdaa.org/Program-Meeting.

Also of interest is the August 18th meeting: “Life Signs in the Solar System,” presented by Jerry Hilburn, a JPL Solar System Ambassador and SDAA member. Jerry is quite a hoot and his presentations are always lively and spirited.
