June 2026 Club-Business and Speaker Presentation - Topic TBD

Dr. Willie Yee will be giving a presentation titled: THE "OTHER" SPACE TELESCOPES

Description: The Hubble and Webb telescopes are the best known space telescopes, and deserve to be. However there are many other space telescopes, notably the others in NASA's Great Telescope Program and those that followed it that have explored space in wavelengths that those landmark telescopes cannot. This presentation will explore those space telescopes that have peered into optical, infrared, x-ray, and gamma-ray frequencies and the science discoveries they made.

Dr. Willie Yee is an amateur astronomer, past president and member of the Board of Directors of the Mid-Hudson Astronomical Association. He presently is a Solar System Ambassador, a program supported by NASA and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, CA. He is a retired psychiatrist and a magician trained at the world-renowned McBride Magic and Mystery School in Las Vegas.

He is also a volunteer for the American Red Cross, is a Hudson Valley Chapter
Life Member of the Society of American Magicians.

Prior to the presentation MHAA will conduct a club business meeting, which will start at 7:15 PM. The talk will start at 8:00 PM, but anyone who wishes to join the business meeting is welcomed.
