Public Notices/Announcements - Peterborough/Lindsay - PAA Meeting - March 7, 2025 7pm, Novice Class 6pm

The Monthly Meeting of the Peterborough Astronomical Association's (PAA) will take place March 7th as a “Hybrid Meeting”, both online and in-person at our traditional physical location of the Rotary Education Centre/Guest Services Building, Riverview Park Zoo. To participate via Zoom, just make sure that in advance, you open a (free) Zoom account on whatever iphone or tablet or device you wish to participate with and then contact https://www.peterboroughastronomy.com/zoom_register.php for the password and link to our evenings classes and presentations. If you wish to participate in person you are more than welcome to do so at the Zoo. Our “Novice Astronomy Classes” are focused on the practical aspects of learning about astronomy. You will be introduced to astronomy related subjects at a very basic level, but in a logical sequence. In this month’s Novice Astronomy Class we continue our Solar System Series, with “The Basics for a Night of Visual Observing”. Shortly after 7:00 p.m. we will have a presentation by our Vice-President, Brian Colville on the Sun and our “Current Solar Cycle”. Brian spends a lot of time and energy studying and imaging our closest star. Prepare to be amazed at the information and images that Brian will present in his talk about what the Sun is doing and what it is showing us as it ramps up to the next Solar Maximum in its eleven year Solar Cycle.
