The Peterborough Astronomical Association will hold its regular monthly meeting, which take place on the first Friday of the month, on December 7th. The meeting location is the Rotary Education Centre/Guest Services Building, Riverview Park Zoo, Peterborough.
The PAA will once again resume “Novice Astronomy Classes”. The classes will introduce you to equipment, software and many other astronomy related subjects at a very basic level. You will get hands-on with equipment and learn to use it and other tools of astronomy. You will also learn to locate constellations, stars, planets and other objects in the sky. Those interested, should be at the above mentioned meeting location by 6:00 p.m. The classes will run about 45 minutes each session, before our regular meetings.
Our annual general meeting will be starting at 7:00 p.m., to briefly deal with elections and other business.
This month’s meeting promises to have a holiday treat in the form of a short award winning National Film Board movie presentation on an astronomical subject that should be of interest to everyone from a Canadian historical retrospective. Come see what celestial treat we have in store for you, maybe the “Universe”?
This presentation will be followed by a “Christmas Social” of an assortment of holiday cookies and snacks, supplied by whatever people bring. Don’t be shy, bring your favourite Christmas treat! Let’s all share in the Christmas Spirit.
There will be the usual opportunities to come and check out the PAA and all it has to offer, at no cost. This is an all ages meeting and the venue is barrier free
