COSMIC CONVERSATIONS...

Star Gazing from the Champlain Islands -- Elizabeth Fraser

I would like to invite the readers of Ageless with Aunty to join me in an utterly ageless and timeless endeavor…. Stargazing! The last class I attended was so much fun we talked the teacher into holding another one. So, here is your chance to soak up the night sky with like minded people in a stunning surrounding. All with an expert astronomer on hand. I am glad to say he is my friend. His name is Steve Martin.

You can check out his fantastic book Cosmic Conversations here  which he will be happy to sign. 

If you want to join Steve for one, or any three, of this upcoming and inspiring series, the classes will run for the next three Mondays at 7:30, contact him at smartin@copper.net  or call (508) 567-1066. The event takes place half an hour from the Boston area at the astonishing Center at Westwoods.

By popular demand, The New University Educational Series continues!

Join us for a three-week mini-series as we explore the farthest reaches of the universe and spend time contemplating the wonders of the night sky with our eyes and small telescopes.

Each session will involve a short lecture, discussion, and stargazing (weather permitting)

Upcoming topics:

April 23rd: Cosmology and the Birth of the Universe

April 30th: A Brief History of the Universe

May 7th: Are We Alone?: Alien Life and SETI

No previous experience with stargazing, astronomy, or science is required, only an enthusiasm for learning more about our wondrous universe!
The fee is 20.00 per class or 50.00 for all three.

Stephan Martin, MS, is an astronomer, educator, and writer who has taught astronomy and physics at colleges and educational centers across the U.S. for over twenty years.  Currently Assistant Professor of Astronomy at Bristol Community College in southeastern Massachusetts, he is active in promoting interdisciplinary, experiential, and transformative approaches to exploring the universe and gives talks and workshops on science, spirituality, and stargazing around the country.

STEVE MARTIN, DR. OZ, AND ME...

Things are looking up here at Ageless

Poet, philosopher and man of many talents, Henry David Thoreau said: In the long run, we only hit what we aim at! I agree.  I have a picture of a bulls-eye on my wall that says so.
Since I have long been reaching for the stars, with my projects, products, books, and screenplays, I have decided to study them. Pretty soon I will know exactly where to reach! I took one simple star gazing class and it really opened up my mind. I literally looked up and stepped back. Suddenly my world just grew. It is utterly amazing what is there all around us if we just stop, look, and listen. Taking a small time out for yourself in this profoundly fast paced world might be the hardest part. But, try it and see where it leads.
I am so excited  to share such a unique and wonderful opportunity with the followers/readers of Ageless. Join my friends and me on a star-gazing journey. For a minimal sliding scale fee you can study, talk, and hang out with the super cool, and friendly, easy- to-talk to, Astronomy professor and Author, Stephan Martin.
 Talk about Ageless! This is really going to be a supernatural delight. Please consider joining us as we pause to explore the universe. We are calling this the New Universe-ity.
For more information or to pre-register, contact Stephan Martin at smartin@copper.net or call (508) 567-1066. And, remember, before you hear it from Doctor Oz, about how good it is for your psyche to participate in a journey through the cosmos, you heard it here first. Just like the healthy Ming Tsai Mushroom Coffee I told you about before Dr. Oz featured it on his show! Do you think Dr. Oz could possibly be reading my blog? Who knows. But, I won't be too suprised if he shows up for our star-gazing.
