Mike Brotherton writes that applications for this year’s Launch Pad Astronomy Workshop will be accepted during the month of March 2010. Launch Pad is “an essentially free, NASA-funded workshop for established writers held in beautiful high-altitude Laramie, Wyoming. Launch Pad aims to provide a ‘crash course’ for 10-12 attendees in modern astronomy through lecture, hands-on activities, discussion, and observation through the University of Wyoming’s telescopes.” This year’s workshop will run from 11 July to 18 July, with special guest instructor is Kevin R. Grazier.
Brotherton writes more about the workshop and Grazier in this post.
