I am currently in Norwich, Connecticut visiting my son who works at the US Navy base in Groton but, on September 3rd I will be embarking Cunard’s flagship, Queen Mary 2 in New York to begin an assignment from New York to Southampton. I’ll be delivering several talks on astronomy and astrophysics in the Illuminations Theatre and maybe even conducting planetarium shows. The weather during an Atlantic crossing is not usually clear enough for stargazing but, fingers crossed!
