Welcome to the home page for the Skylight
Astronomical Society's participation in JPL's Saturn Observation Campaign.
This program, designed to engage the public in the wonder of
Saturn exploration, is sponsored by NASA's Cassini-Huygens Mission. The Cassini
spacecraft will arrive at Saturn on July 1, 2004, where it will begin a 4-year
tour of the Saturn system.
The goal of the Saturn Observation Campaign (SOC) is to link
amateur astronomers and astronomy groups with youth groups, school, and the public
in local communities.
We have put together a PowerPoint
Presentation using the official NASA/JPL Cassini-Huygens slide set. To view
this presentation CLICK HERE
The JPL home Website for
Cassini-Huygens and the Saturn Observation
Campaign is at http://saturn.jpl.nasa.gov/cassini/
The Skylight Astronomical Society (SAS)
concentrates its activities in the town of Stow, Massachusetts, and in nearby
communities such as Hudson, Sudbury, Berlin, Bolton and Maynard.
The SAS will coordinate several "star parties" during the course of
a year, and has some experience in presenting to local school classes. If
you are interested in our programs for general amateur astronomy, please contact
SAS at our website.
If you represent a local youth, school or community group, and would like to
learn how you can participate with SAS in the Saturn Observation Campaign,
please contact us at saturn@sasobservatory.org
