University Times from University of Maine at Presque Isle

We always pick up copies of the student newspaper, University Times, from the University of Maine at Presque Isle (UMPI).  Whenever possible, we try to have a stack of them in the library.

The November 19th issue has a very interesting article by Jim Stepp on finding astronomy information.   Jim is the Assistant Dean of Students and the Director of Residential Life at UMPI.  Jim has always had an interest in astronomy and writes about it often.  His articles are always interesting and enlightening.  In this one, he mentions many astronomy sites that I thought would be of interest to NMCC students. I contacted Jim and with his permission I am posting some of the sites mentioned in his article.
