Join AFM*Radio Skyguide Marleen Bryan
on September 6th, 2010 at 1800 GMT (2 PM EDT) for a one hour long
multimedia webcast on “Astronomy & Chess!” brought to you by our
partner Global-Rent-a-Scope (GRAS).
While perhaps not immediately apparent, there are many similarities between the science and art of chess and astronomy.
Dr. Christian Sasse, GRAS affiliate
(one of the affiliate owners that make up the worldwide GRAS network of
telescopes) will share his perspectives on astronomy. Dr. John Nunn,
chess grandmaster, and once ranked internationally in the top 10, will
speak of chess and his own interest in astronomy.
Both John and Christian will show images and videos using AFM*Radio’s Adobe Connect webcast room.

Our Solar System's largest planet is also one of the brightest in the night sky. Not only can we see Jupiter's colorful bands and Great Red Spot, we can watch its four Galilean moons as they orbit the great gas giant. You'll find daily stats, such as moon and GRS transit times, on Ricky's Jovian Chronicles.
