When : Sunday 26th Jan. 6-8pm.

Where : Maffeo Sutton Pk near the washrooms.

You may have seen on the news that we have an ongoing ‘planetary alignment’, i.e. all the planets are currently visible in the night sky.

Tonight the Nanaimo Astronomy Society will have some members + volunteers set up with telescopes for viewing of Jupiter, Mars, and hopefully Saturn/Venus, although those latter 2 are low in the night sky.

Society members feel free to join us with your own telescope!

PLEASE NOTE : This event is weather dependent and may have to be cancelled at short notice. Keep any eye on our website for any updates.
