VIRTUAL ASTRONOMY DAY
May 15th, 2021
Another successful event!  Thank you to all of our volunteers and guests.  Links to the day's video recordings can be found below.  
On May 15th, astro-video camera views from our members' backyard telescopes were streamed live throughout as much of the day as possible.  Live camera views of the Sun were shown, but unfortunately clouds prevented us showing live views of the Moon, planets, and other deep-sky objects.  Instead our volunteers gave presentations throughout the day on various astronomy related topics. 
Special thanks go to RASC National for their support of this event.
FAMILY FRIENDLY EVENT!
International Astronomy Day is for people of all ages.  Our objective is to inspire an interest in astronomy and science, especially among the younger generation.  This online event may not be as exciting as our normal in-person event, but we believe it is still worthwhile for families to check it out!
