A list of FUN events and FUN happenings around McAllen Texas and the RGV ,Rio Grande Valley TEXAS,

 John McAllen was no poor man to start with; however, with the combined wealth of his newfound bride he became one of the richest man in the area.
McAllen, spurred on by the arrival of the Railroad in 1905, continued to grow and was finally incorporated in 1911.
However, McAllen is not only a Gateway city to Mexico but also a very popular destination for Tour groups from both sides of the border who continuously come to visit the many interesting sites the Rio Grande Valley has to offer.

    95 Arethusa  2003 Jan 15

 

The occultation of  a  m = 10.9 star by the "C" class asteroid 95Arethusa turned out to be another race for clear skies over the valley of South Texas. Paul Maley flew to McAllen, Texas. With several other observers he was planning on staying in McAllen. But clouds soon moved in and the group was forced to drive (3 car caravan) north to reach clear skies. Upon setting up his Collins image intensifier on a Celestron 8, Paul noticed it wouldn't turn on. So he switched to observing the asteroid visually and recorded a 12.1 second occultation. Fortunately the target star was less than 1/2 degree away from the zero magnitude star Procyon, so locating it was easy. Read more about Paul's adventure here.

Richard Nugent drove to a site originally 20 miles north of Maley's and arrived under overcast skies. He set up his 10" LX-200 and desperately tried to locate alignment stars during brief breaks in the clouds. After doing so he acquired the target star and asteroid on video as the sky opened up. A Hidalgo County Sheriff  drove up and asked what he was doing, and he explained the nature of his "suspicious looking equipment". The Sheriff stayed to watch the occultation and later was treated to views of M42, Saturn and Jupiter under excellent seeing conditions. Richard video recorded a  12.1 second occultation also. Chris Stephan in Sebring, Florida made a visual timing of Arethusa. His chord turned out to be overlapped up with Nugent's video observation, and this shows how video/visual timings don't always agree.

The 3 timings of Arethusa give an size of at least 172 km, about 20% larger than its size obtained from previous indirect methods.

95 Arethusa was discovered way back on November 23, 1867 by R. C. T. Luther in Dusseldorf. Arethusa was a Nereid nymph member of the Hesperides, attendant upon Artemis who changed her into a fountain when pursued by the river god Alpheus.
