Exclamation **Xmas Message from IceInSpace**

Hi all

It's xmas eve, so it's a good opportunity to thank our IceInSpace community for another fantastic year and wish everyone a great christmas and new year. I hope there's some exciting astronomical goodies to wake up to on xmas morning and some clear skies over the break to enjoy and use them; and to see the comet!

I usually do an end-of-year wrap and look back and highlight the important events throughout the year, but I've ran out of time to do this before xmas so it'll be one of the first things I do in the new year. Keep an eye out for it then.

I look forward to a very exciting 2012 with the IceInSpace community, with some very important astronomical events coming up including the Venus Transit across the Sun in June, and the Total Solar Eclipse in November. It's going to be a big year and I hope you'll join us for the journey!

I'd also like to thank the community for helping us reach a couple of fantastic milestones - we just passed 10,000 members on the IceInSpace Forum, and earlier this week we passed 2000 Likes on our Facebook page. The numbers don't mean much on their own, but it does show we're doing something right and I just love to see the continued growth of our extended community.

Remember IceInSpace is here for you - to Inform, Educate and Entertain. Keep on sharing the love!

Have a great, safe xmas and happy new year! I'll be mostly offline until early January. See you all then!

Hi Mike and Everyone,

All the best to everyone for a very merry Christmas and a happy, prosperous new year that does *not* include an apocalypse on 21st December!

Thanks Mike & Terry for maintaining this site for us, we are all deeply in your debt for this meeting place and I also pause to also thank the moderators who I think generally do a terrific job that is vastly under appreciated.


Best,

Les D
