Welcome to the Wormhole - Ames Area Amature Astronomers window on the web

The Ames Area Amateur Astronomers is a dynamic organization with activities held year-round. Each month at our meeting we present a guest speaker, with exciting lectures about space and astronomy.

                            This Months Lecture

Join us to learn more about "The Secrets of Starlight". Ed Engle will be teaching about what Red Shift means. What are all the lines in the spectrum and what do they tell us about what is in other stars? Why are there colors? What does it mean that light is a wave and a particle at the same time.
