Hi everyone!

I've attached a picture of the APOLLO project shooting a laser at the moon at the Apache Point Observatory. Read more about the APOLLO project here: http://physics.ucsd.edu/~tmurphy/apollo/apollo.html



The votes are in for the undergrad meeting. We will have our autumn quarter meeting on Monday, Nov. 8 at 4pm in Phys/Astr B356A (aka the reading room) which is just inside the computer lab. Join us to hear about research, classes, career resources and more! Snacks will be provided.

Winter quarter registration: Registration for winter quarter begin this Friday for many of you and others follow shortly after this. Be sure you're registering for the right classes; run a new degree audit (DARS), look at your course plan or if you don't have one stop in to see me and create one!

NASA Space Grant Internship Meeting: On Nov. 19 from 2:30-4:00pm in Mary Gates Hall Rm 389, the WA NASA Space Grant office will host a NASA Internship Information Session. At this meeting you will find out about opportunities at NASA/JPL and Johnson Space Center as well as local research and industry internships available to you.
