Posted on 31 August 2010 by Administrator Nusas

Greetings, astronomy enthusiasts!

Our very first astronomy session for this semester is around the corner. Do check your schedule and make sure you’ll be available on this day; otherwise you’ll miss the following fascinating session:

Title: Introduction to stargazing

Venue: Training Room 3, Yusof Ishak House (YIH)

Date: September 3^rd, Friday

Time: 07:00PM

Rong’en, our newly elected Research Head, is going to give us a small talk. A quick peek into his powerpoint slides reveals an exciting and intriguing journey ahead! Following the theoretical lecture, we will have a hands-on observation session (subject to weather condition).

Now, keep our fingers crossed for clear sky this Friday, and remember to drop by.

We look forward to seeing you there! (:

Cheers!
