The speaker for the October S*T*A*R meeting will be Ken Garrison, Associate Professor of Physics at Ocean County College and Assistant Director of the Novins Planetarium. Ken's topic will be "Star Formation: What's New?". Star formation is a continuous process within our galaxy, and most others. This presentation will review some of the basic knowledge about how stars form from clouds of interstellar gas and dust and describe some of the recent results and continuing questions in this area. Some objects accessible to modest-sized telscopes will be suggested. Join us for what promises to be a fascinating talk.
