The cold polar regions on Earth offer unique opportunities to do science that cannot be done anywhere else. But doing science and astronomy from the coldest place on Earth has its own unique challenges that require equally unique solutions. Join us in the Roy Smith Theatre on the campus of Union College in Cranford to hear our guest speaker, David Malpas, tell us about his experiences working in Antartica. Then come to Sperry Observatory after the meeting, which ends around 10:00 pm, to do some observing, weather permitting and to talk to members of AAI who are always willing to talk about astronomy.
