There were actually more members of the Association at Lunacon 2017 in Tarrytown than at the Bergen Highlands United Methodist Church in Upper Saddle River on Saturday, April 8, 2017. The place certainly did not feel empty as there were a number of newcomers to hear Professor Jason Kendall's talk on ExoPlanets.

Jason Kendall is an Associate Professor at William Paterson University. He is also a Science Explainer at the American Museum of Natural History, a past NASA Ambassador for the National Aeronautics & Space Administration and serves on the Board of Directors of the Amateur Astronomers Association of New York.

The talk was fascinating and covered the distribution of planets throughout known space, methods of detecting planets, the statistical likelihood of intelligent life in our galaxy and other topics. This will be posted in more detail at the 2017 - 04/2017 Meeting on the club website at a later date.
