Astronomy presentation August 29th in Libby
by Duane Williams, KLCB-KTNY Radio
August 5, 2014
The Astronomy Club invites the public to a special presentation on Friday, August 29th, at 7 pm, in the Fireside Room of the Venture Inn, in Libby. Mike Herr, retired NASA Senior Engineer, will be displaying what he often presents at a planetarium. The topics will cover planets, the moon, constellations with Greek/Roman stories, nebulae, galaxies - a mix of everything with a focus on what attendees find of most interest.

Herr was last employed at the Naval Air Warfare Center, Weapons Department, China Lake, California. His experience includes being an engineer, and sometimes manager on such projects as the Mars Pathfinder, the Space Shuttle Escape System, the E-2C personal survival ensemble, the P-3C escape system integration as well as development and testing a variety of parachute, recovery, weapon retardation and crew escape systems. All of which require a very intimate understanding of the science behind our solar system.
