DESCRIPTION:This meeting is FREE and open to all!\n\nOpen to members and non-members alike, our Monthly General Meetings feature club announcements, members’ observation reports, and a headline guest speaker. Speakers typically hail from one of Colorado’s many science or technical organizations and share their experiences on a wide range of astronomy topics.\nJanuary General Membership Meeting Agenda:⦁ New Member and Guest Introductions⦁ Announcements⦁ Nominations for Annual Election Open*⦁ Presentation by Dr. Ryan French⦁ Observing Reports\n* Attn Members: The 2026 Executive Board Election gets underway during the January 12th General Membership Meeting, when nominations will open.

Also, keep your eyes on https://members.denverastro.org/elections\n****\n \nOUR PRESENTER:\nDr. Ryan French is a solar physicist, science communicator, and author, currently working at the Laboratory for Atmospheric & Space Physics in Boulder, Colorado. He works to unravel the mysteries of the Sun at the forefront of solar physics research, using cutting-edge ground- and space-based telescopes. In addition to his scientific work, he strives to share the wonders of the Sun and space with the public through social media (85k+ followers), museums and observatories, and on television and radio. His second book, Space Hazards, was published worldwide in 2025. He is also an expert on astronomical\nevents, including eclipses and solar storms. Dr. French is an avid hiker, nature photographer, and skier, perhaps because the mountains take him closer to the Sun.\nPRESENTATION: Space Hazards – Asteroids, Solar Flares, and Cosmic Threats\nOur planet may seem peaceful, but space is full of potential dangers. Surrounded by objects and forces that pose a serious risk, Earth is under constant threat. In this talk, based on Ryan’s brand-new book ‘Space Hazards’, we’ll explore the most fascinating of these threats\n– ranging from the immediate to cosmically unlikely. From the science behind space weather and meteorites, to the growing cloud of space debris orbiting our planet, we’ll discuss what we know, what we’re watching, and how experts around the world are working to keep us safe.\n\n\nLOCATION:In-person at the Secular Hub (254 N. Knox Ct., Denver, CO 80219). The meeting will also be available via Zoom for those unable to attend in person.\n\nDATE/TIME:Monday, January 12th, 7:00 p.m.; meeting attendees can arrive at the Secular Hub starting at 6:00 p.m. (More information about Secular Hub can be found here: https://www.secularhub.org/)\n
