The October Minas Astronomy Group meeting is

Saturday, October 15, 7 p.m.  at Acadia University, Huggins Science  
Hall, Room 202

(Huggins is the second building on the right as one goes up University  
Avenue (opposite the gymnasium). Enter by the corner door to the right  
of the main entrance. Once inside, enter the stairwell on your  
immediate right and go up one floor. Then keep right!

Speaker:  Dr. Roy Bishop

Title:  The Rainbow
or:  Refraction of the light of the nearest star by spheres of  
hydrogen oxide in the gaseous envelope of the third planet

Of all atmospheric phenomena, the rainbow is the most striking ---  
because of its symmetry, colours, and unexpected occurrence.  
References to the rainbow occur throughout recorded history: in  
literature, in science, and in advertising. Progress in understanding  
what a rainbow is, and is not, have occupied some of the greatest  
minds over the centuries. My talk will be illustrated with several  
images of rainbows, and will be accompanied by a demonstration of the  
little-known secret that results in a rainbow.
