If your eyes are always pointed to the stars, you may be interested in news that for the first time, the annual meeting of the American Astronomical Society (AAS) will be open to the public. Astronomers, academics, and media plus guests are expected to total more than 500 during the conference in Indianapolis, Indiana, June 2-6. A single-day registration rate of $50 is available on Monday and Tuesday, and these two days include special presentations and events aimed at amateurs. In addition to special daytime programming, these evening events are open to all:
