2025 Activities & Events

UPCOMING 2025 EAS EVENTS:

EAS March 15th 2025 meeting – JWST: Unveiling the Invisible Universe - IR color imaging

The JWST is an infra-red space telescope with ability to capture images across a broad range of IR frequencies, or bands.

This talk describes how those raw images are processed and combined to produce useful and appealing final photos.
Both the enhancing scientific understanding of what images show, and artistic appeal and beauty can be improved by making choices about how to bring those raw data together.

These steps have been performed on the photos that you see released by NASA,
and the data is also publicly available to anyone who wishes to perform their own processing,
so can be combined and processed in unique ways to bring out alternate details, and create images of stunning beauty.  How this can be done is also described.

The meeting will begin at 2 pm for a social hour,
then presentation will begin at 3:00 pm in the Main Library downstairs auditorium.

Date: Saturday, March 15, Time: 2:00 PM - 4:30 PM PDT
Location: Everett Public Library, downstairs auditorium, downtown Everett

All EAS meetings are 3rd Saturday of each month, and open to the public.
Most are at Evergreen Branch Library, a few this year are at Main Everett Public Library.

EAS member Ron Tam has offered a flexible opportunity to EAS members to come to his home north of Snohomish near Panther Lake
for observing on clear weekend evenings, and for EAS star parties.
Anyone wishing to do so needs to contact him in advance and confirm available dates, and let him know if plans change.
“Our place is open for star parties any Saturday except weekends of the Full Moon.
People can call to get weather conditions or to confirm that there is a star party.
Our phone number is (360) 568-5152.
They can e-mail me too (tam1951 at frontier.com) but I don't check my email daily.
They can email me for directions if they have never been out here.” 
Listed below are proposed dates for planned EAS star parties at my *Ron Tam’s place, depending upon the weather, of course. 
Call Ron about spur-of-the-moment observing, such as when we have a run of clear days but no scheduled event...
