    City of Sedona ArizonaSedona AZ (February 26, 2013) – The Sedona Parks and Recreation Department will offer a free Lunar Astronomy workshop on Wednesday, March 13 from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Sedona Teen Center located within Posse Grounds Park, 525 Posse Ground Road. This is your chance to view the sun, moon, Comet PanSTARRS, Jupiter and the Seven Sister Star cluster, as well as deep sky objects, Orion nebula, star clusters and more through the lens of a telescope.

    Dennis Young, world-known astro-photographer, will guide participants through this daytime/nighttime astronomy workshop and photography presentation. From 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. there will be safe solar viewing. At 5:30 p.m. participants can enjoy an hour presentation on Astro Scenic Photography of Arizona. This lecture covers celestial wonders of the night through the eyes of a wide field camera lens.

    Following the photography presentation, participants will head outside from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. to view the night sky through the use of three different telescopes. Observers will get a chance to look through a giant custom built reflector telescope that is more powerful than the famous Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff. Also on hand are ultra wide field military binoculars, connected to a binocular chair that allows the user to sit down and gaze anywhere in the sky they wish. Last but not least, there will be an opportunity to look safely at our closest star, the Sun, and even see the rare explosions shooting out into space from its disk using a special H-Alpha Solar Scope.

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
