(meteorobs) Fwd: [AstronomyOutreach] Elizabeth Warner of the Deep Impact Mission to Lecture at WSP!

[Lew Gramer]

For anyone fortunate enough to be going to the Florida Keys
in the USA in a few days - a very interesting professional
lecture down there amid the hermit crabs and noseeums! :)

Clear skies over the Keys, and to all around the world,

Lew Gramer
