ABOUT THIS YEARS ASTRONOMY JAMBOREE

Every year Custer Observatory (Southold, NY) hosts a weekend of astronomy lectures, stargazing, and friendship. 2014 marks the 36th year of the Jamboree and this year we will have a special screening of the film Particle Fever, hosted by Stony Brook University's Simons Center. We're also adding topics in radio astronomy which I think is an exciting change that will offer a unique opportunity for those interested in this little-understood but very interesting area of science.
