The next public stargazing talk I will be conducting is titled "Sun, Moon and Eclipses".
Date: Monday, 21 October 2013
Time: 7:30pm - 8:30pm
Venue: Toa Payoh Public Library. Level 1 Programme Zone.
Admission is free. No pre-registration required. Late-comers welcomed!
Learn about the Sun, Moon and the different type of eclipses they form as seen from Earth. Find out when are the interesting upcoming eclipses visible in or around Singapore in the coming years and how and where to observe them! There will also be brief introduction about spotting Comet ISON which will be the major focus of the next public library talk in November!
*Weather permitting*, during/after the talk, there will be an impromptu live stargazing session at open space just outside the library. You can observe stars, Venus and Moon through our telescopes!
So bring your family and friends along and acquire skills that will enable you to enjoy stargazing for the rest of your life!

"The importance of a telescope is not how big it is, how well made it is.
It is how many people, less fortunate than you, got to look through it."

Big thanks to Toa Payoh Public Library for hosting the stargazing talk and all who came to support the event! Another full house attendance despite poor weather. Some parents were seen carrying their little children and observing the presentation through the glass wall from the outside.
The astro chit chat session after the talk was most enjoyable. There was the usual mini "buy-and-sell" session too. Catching up with new and old friends in person is something whatsapp can't match.
Time flies. It has been a year since the monthly library talks started. Once again, thank you for supporting these talks and looking forward to conduct more in the future!
Comet ISON talk coming up next on Monday 18th November!
