HI EVERY ONE,
I'M PLEASED TO BE A
MEMBER OF THE METEOROBS MAILING LIST, I HAVE BEEN FOR AROUND 3 YEARS AND STILL IN THE IMO MAILING LIST, BUT
METEOROBS IS SOMETHING DIFFERENT, SINCE I CAN HEAR THE REACTION OF THE PEOPLE
AND THEIR NEEDS WHICH IS ALSO HELPFUL TO ME , THE METEOR OBSERVING COMMITTEE,
WHICH I'M THE HEAD OF IT, AND TO THE JORDANIAN ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY
(JAS).
JAS, IS LIKE A MINARET IN THE ARAB
WORLD, IT SHINES THE ASTRONOMICAL SCIENCE IN JORDAN AND OTHER ARAB COUNTRIES.
AND DUE TO OUR EFFORTS, THE ARAB UNION FOR ASTRONOMY AND SPACE SCIENCES HAS BEEN
RECENTLY ESTABLISHED.
ALL OF US IN JAS ARE VOLUNTEERS, OUR
FINANCE IS VERY LIMITED . BUT AND ALTHOUGH OF THAT, WE ARE THE MOST ACTIVE
SOCIETY IN JORDAN AND THE ARAB COUNTRIES.
WE ARE NOW PREPARING FOR THE 22
ASTRONOMICAL CAMP, WHICH WILL BE HELD IN THE DISSERT TO OBSERVE THE
DRACONID METEOR STORM ( HOPEFULLY)., WE WILL MOSTLY CAMP
FROM 7 - 9 / OCT. / 1998. FOR THIS REASON.
ALSO, WE WILL BE PREPARING FOR THE
FAMOUS LEONIDS IN NOVEMBER.
HOPE TO HEAR FROM YOU ALL
SOON.
BEST REGARDS.
ENG. KHALED M. TELL
METEOR OBSERVING COMMITTEE
JORDANIAN ASTRONOMICAL
SOCIETY.
