8 • POSTED ON April 07, 2005 Free outdoor family celebration
Saturday, April 16 2005 from 10am to 10pm This free event will take place on Saturday, April 16, 2005, from 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. on the parking lot next to Chapters at Silver City Shopping Centre (located at 2401 CityPark Drive near Ogilvie road). Various activities are planned*, including: • Demonstration of various telescopes of many different sizes and a portable observatory. • Safe viewing of the Sun (using special filters) and observing of the Moon and a few planets even in broad daylight. • Live video-imaging demonstrations, including the viewing of deep-sky objects not normally visible from downtown. • Astrophotography displays and fascinating slide shows. • Star Party (sunset to 10:00 p.m.), including free stargazing with telescopes of all sizes. Observation of the Moon, planets Saturn and Jupiter, and lots more. • All-day display and demonstrations inside Chapters. Various informative references and free handouts will be available to the public. This is the perfect occasion for the public to come and meet local amateur astronomers at their best. Between 1,500 and 2,500 people joined us in the past, and this year's event promises to be even bigger, so come and join us on Astronomy day! * In case of inclement weather, the inside display and demonstrations at Chapters will still be held.
