Want to see Saturn?


Astronomy

Who? Tauranga Astronomical Society Inc
Where? Ferguson Park Observatory, Matua. Located in the Otumoetai Sports & Recreation Club, turn right at the end Tilby Drive.
When? 7:30pm on Tuesday 10th May

As part of the National Primary Science week the Astronomical Society has invited students to come and visit the observatory at night.
If you are interested in Astronomy and you would like to look through a telescope at the night sky, you are welcome to visit the Ferguson Park Observatory in Matua on Tuesday the 10th of May at 7.30pm with Miss C. You will need to arrange your own transport there and home and parents are encouraged to stay as this is not an official school trip.

There will be a 30 minute presentation and opportunity to look through telescopes. Saturn will be prominent at this time. Students will need to bring warm clothing.

Gold coin donation please as each evening is expensive to run and this is a voluntary organisation.

Please note this activity is WEATHER DEPENDENT and requires a clear night sky before the telescopes can be used.

Hope you can come!
