Honorary Proclamation
Astronomy Day
October 4, 1997
Whereas, the Denver Astronomical Society, the
University of Denver’s Chamberlin Observatory, and
Gates Planetarium have a long tradition of providing
education about astronomy; and
. . . whereas, a new era of discoveries are
taking place using the space telescope and planetary
probes; and
. . . whereas, astronomy is historically the
first of the sciences and has been around for 10,000
years; and
. . . whereas, an appreciation of the State of
Colorado should extend to the sky above it, as well
as the mountains and plains below;
now, therefore, I, Roy Romer, governor of
Colorado, proclaim October 4, of 1997 as astronomy
day in the state of Colorado.
Given under my hand,
[Official Seal of State of Colorado]
This 10th day of September, 1997
[signed]
Roy Romer, Governor |
