Astronomy Lecture by Ken Van Lew

Hubble (immortalized in the Hubble Space
Telescope) invented a tuning fork method of
classifying galaxies. Most galaxies fit some-

have characteristics that make them stand
out as distinct types. Their sizes, shapes, structures, ages, and
companions make them “one of a kind” galaxies.

A Word About Tables and Chairs
You may notice in the
Sun Rays
ar-
ticles that many of our onsite events
and dances state “Reserved Seating
by Tables.” Thismeans that tickets are
purchased by specific tables and random chairs. Only
the tables are numbered for our events, not the chairs.
This has caused confusion because our online ticketing
system shows both tables and chairs numbered. When
you make a purchase, you select a certain chair on the
screen; however, since we do not number the chairs at
the event, this selection process does not mean that you
actually
get
that specific chair at the event. Instead, it
is “first to arrive” when selecting chairs at an event. We
are making revisions to the ticketing systemwhich will
include a pop-up reminder on the screen that you are
purchasing a
table
reservation, not a
chair
reservation.
Hopefully, this will eliminate some confusion at the event.
Also, the system does not allow us to remove the chair
numbers fromyour printed tickets; so even though you see
a chair number in
print
, you are not
reserving
that chair.
Also, please remember that the table and chair diagrams
that you see on screen are rough drafts. Changes in
layout, dependent upon ticket sales, are made for almost
every event or dance that the CA sponsors. (Example:
tables eliminated or combined)
