[AstroNet] Jhb Planetarium - UFO, Dark Matter talk

[Johannesburg Planetarium]

***Dark Matter in Galaxies*
29th October 6pm
Venue: Senate Room, 2nd Floor, Senate House, Wits University
About 90% of the mass of galaxies in our Universe is invisible. 
Astronomers know the enigmatic dark matter is there - but no one yet 
knows what it is.  Dr KC Freeman, Fellow of the Royal Society, will be 
delivering this special public lecture at Wits during the celebration of 
the International Year of Astronomy.
Admission is free, but early arrival is strongly recommended. Secure 
parking will be available in the Senate House Basement parking, Jorissen 
Street.


*Sunday 18th UFO Sightings*
We have put more detail, and links to photos, for this weird 
rocket-launch sighting at www.planetarium.co.za 
<http://www.planetarium.co.za>
The second pass of the Centaur rocket over SA (at 8:55pm SA time) was 
reported by hundreds, and photographed.  If anyone witnessed the first 
pass (at about 7:10pm), please let us know.

And a note for future UFO-spotters: what's really useful is to know the 
time you saw it (to the minute, if possible), your location, and the 
direction you were looking when you saw it.
