[AANC Contacts] What's Up July? Milky Way and the Harry Potter Objects

[Jane H Jones]

Hi AANC contacts,

My monthly NASA Podcast for International Year of Astronomy is about 
the Milky Way this month.

You can find the podcast series in many formats on my What's Up 
webpage here: 
http://solarsystem.nasa.gov/news/whatsup-view.cfm?WUID=164 and all 
the previous podcasts  in the archive

Even more great July IYA content is here on the NASAIYA website 
http://astronomy2009.nasa.gov/observe_jul.htm

And just for fun, some sidewalk astronomy friends and I put together 
a Harry Potter Observing List, just in time for the movie release 
this week!  It's a literary observing project for the whole family - 
complete it and earn your O.W.L. :-)  I hope you enjoy it and use it 
to show your friends and family Draco in the summer sky.  There is 
even a star chart linked from the writeup, which you can find here

  Enjoy, and I miss you all, but am having a blast in So Cal!  Jane
