Event for HAS Members
Introduction to the Universe - a monthly astronomy talk.
An additional night for Hamilton Astronomical Society members, second Wednesday of each month.

Tonight’s Topic: THE NIGHT SKY - WHAT ARE WE LOOKING AT?
Speaker: Chris Benton (from Auckland Astronomical Society)

The unaided eye can see four galaxies, five planets and approximately 2500 stars on a clear night. How often have you looked up at the sky and wondered what you are observing? Could that bright light be a large star or a planet, and what type of star or planet?

Chris Benton talks about what you can see and how you know what those objects are. We look forward to seeing you all there and learning the answers to those and other questions. All attendees will receive a handout covering these points, plus recommended free software and apps to explore the night sky.

For HAS Members, Weds 14 June.
