| Greetings greetings fellow star gazers! Today is a very special day! In band class a few years ago, our normal music lesson was derailed by talk of astronomy. I remember we talked about constellations, meteor showers, and finally lunar and solar eclipses. I asked google when the next solar eclipse was, and the computer replied the "next solar eclipse viewable in your area will occur on August 21, 2017. I promptly asked google to remind me to "look at the sun" on that day. Well, the day is here! | [[https://skyandtelescope.org/astronomy-news/jack-horkheimer-passes-away-at-72/|Greetings greetings fellow star gazers]]! Today is a very special day!

| At [[http://time.com/4882923/total-solar-eclipse-map-places-view/|time.com]], you can enter your zip code to see a simulation of what the eclipse might look like in your area. For Virginians, the show starts around 1:00 this afternoon. | At [[http://time.com/4882923/total-solar-eclipse-map-places-view/|time.com]], you can enter your zip code to see a simulation of what the eclipse might look like in your area.

| | * [[http://www.stellarium.org/|Stellarium]] - somewhat related..Stellarium is open source, cross platform, planetarium software. It's some of the best I've ever seen, and easily outdoes the paid for competition. (If you're running linux, its probably in your repositories...) |

| Enjoy it! We don't get the opportunity to view an eclipse very often! (The last one for me was when I was in elementary school!) | Enjoy it! We don't get the opportunity to view an eclipse very often! (The last one for me was when I was in elementary school!) |

| This year, we are going to be using Raspberry Pi computers to design and program an arduino powered greenhouse! Here are some links to get us started! | **2017.07.28** |

| | Well, this summer is almost in the books! I look forward to a great year! Last year presented a lot of challenges! After our computer lab was unceremoniously dismantled, it plunged us back into the dark ages...but that's okay..we built medieval siege weapons! So without a computer lab, how will we continue? |
| | |
| | Like the phoenix, we will rebuild. We will build our own computer lab using the Raspberry Pi. My goal is for each of you to build your own. We'll use them to design and program an arduino powered greenhouse! I'll put together a supply list we'll need. Here are some links to get us started! |
