Three Plumas County communities – Greenville, Portola, and Quincy – are participating in a groundbreaking astronomy research project supported by the National Science Foundation. The RECON project is studying objects that orbit the sun out beyond the planet Neptune. To study these distant faint objects, citizen-scientists in each community use project-supplied equipment to record them when they move in front of stars – this is called an occultation – when they literally “dance with the stars”. RECON stands for <b>R</b>esearch and <b>E</b>ducation <b>C</b>ooperative <b>O</b>ccultation <b>N</b>etwork. In addition to the research, education is a key objective of the project. Science teachers at Quincy High School, Portola High School, Plumas Charter School in Greenville, and Feather River College are all part of RECON.</div>

Dr. John Keller, a planetary scientist and astronomy educator in the Physics Department at Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo, is one of the two principal investigators leading the RECON project. On Thursday evening, September 12<sup>th</sup> Dr. Keller will give a free public lecture at Feather River College about the RECON project along with representatives from the Plumas County teams. The presentation will begin at 7:30 p.m. in room 103 on the lower level of the new FRC Learning Resource Center. Following the lecture attendees are invited to a “star party” at the FRC observatory. Interested people will also be given the opportunity to sign up for an ongoing Community Education class that will meet every other week from September 26th through December 5<sup>th</sup> taught by Charles Arrowsmith, the astronomy instructor at FRC, and Michelle Callahan of Portola High School. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Those who take the RECON community education course will learn more about the science behind the project, how to use the equipment, and how to analyze the results. They will be able and encouraged to participate in the ongoing observation campaigns as a part of their community team. The community education class is being offered free of charge to qualifying high school students and for only $20 to the general public.</div>
