On Saturday March 24th the Calgary Centre of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada is holding their annual Spring Star Night at Fish Creek Park in SW Calgary. This event is free and open to all. Members of Calgary Centre will be on hand with Telescopes pointed at all types of Celestial Wonders, including Saturn (in a prime position for observing now).  

The event runs from 7 PM to 10 PM whether the sky is clear or cloudy. Inside the Shannon Terrace Environmental Learning Centre, there will be games,astronomy and “Rings in the Park” displays. RASC members will be on hand to answer any questions you may have.

To get there from the end of Anderson road SW (west end) turn south on to 37th Street SW. Turn east off 37th st SW onto 130 Ave SW, turn right on Woodpath RD SW into Fish Creek Park. Follow the road down the valley to the Shannon Terrace Environmental Learning Centre.

I hope that we will see some of you there and we may be there with a couple of our own scopes displaying objects!
