Jeep Raffle sales are still ongoing with around 200 tickets left.  Sell-Sell- Sell.  The next drawing will be held at our First Friday Social to be located at Sofie's, which is in the old Ace Hardware.  That will be for $500.
 
John has informed me that the installation dinner will be held on June 28th.  The time and place to announced later.
 
Since I have so much time to read now, I am just full of interesting info.  Here are some astrological amazing facts.  Betelgeuse, a giant star in the Orion constellation, is 1.3 billion kilometers wide. Which means if placed in our solar system, it would fill all of the space out to the orbit of Jupiter.  On a clear night, with good vision, 4,500 stars are visible.  The Milky Way, which is the galaxy we call home, contains 400 billion stars.  And there are at least that many galaxies in the Universe making for a total of 160,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 stars in the universe.  
 
The gasses surrounding the surface of our sun are a toasty 5,500 C degrees.  Stars burn hydrogen as a fuel source until they use up the hydrogen and then start to burn Helium which leaves a bi-product of Carbon and Oxygen.  And then as the star shrinks and the pressure from the fusion reactions rises, the star eventually blows and scatters the elements into space.  These elements eventually form planets like our own.  Planets are born from exploding stars.
When small stars collapse, they can form neutron stars.  They are city-sized objects that pack the mass of a supertanker into each pin-head of material, with a surface temperature of a million degrees plus.
 
And then we have the giant stars that sometimes in the process of collapsing, attract interstellar gasses that start to swirl around the star and slowly collapse inward due to the gravitational attraction of the massive star.  Eventually everything collapses into a "Black Hole" with a gravitational pull so strong that nothing can escape, even light.
 
Amazing info about our night sky.  An interesting read about our universe in laymen's terms is a book entitled " A History of the Universe in 21 Stars" by Giles Sparrow.  Good reading.
