On the morning of July 26, 2013, at 2:13 a.m., the asteroid Aquitania will pass over a star in the constellation Sagittarius.

Paul Maley of the International Occultation Timing Association will be coordinating an expedi-tion to record this event on sev-eral video enabled telescopes in order to define more accurate dimensions of the asteroid and to detect any possible satellites.

A shadow path is being cast on Earth by the star that will be oc-culted by the asteroid. The shad-ow path just so happens to pass through Texas from the south-west to the northeast, which takes it right through Robinson. The CTAS (Central Texas Astronomi-cal Society) group will be respon-sible for measuring the center sec-tion of this 65 mile wide asteroid. Other groups, in different parts of the U.S., will be responsible for the northern and southern sec-tions. The local group will be manning telescope sites that will be spaced approximately three miles apart along U.S. Highway 77 starting just south of Moon-light Drive in Robinson and end-

ing up just north of Cameron.Volunteers are needed to man

each of the telescope stations to start and stop the recordings of the asteroid at the appropriate times. Maley will be holding a training session prior to the occultation to give volunteers instructions on how to operate the telescopes. This training session will be held at Robinson City Hall located at 111 W. Lyndale on July 25, 2013, at 6 p.m.

Volunteers who participate will have their name associated with their telescope station location when the final scientific results are published. Weather permit-ting, and if everything goes ac-cording to plan, the expedition should end up with some very useful data that will give the professional astronomers a bet-ter idea of the exact diameter of Aquitania, and whether or not it has its own orbiting moon. Any-one that has an interest in astron-omy and would like to find out more about CTAS or how to join, can visit www.centexastronomy.org or call Johnny Barton at (254) 881- 2125.
