Join the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada at the West Vancouver Community Arts Council at the Silk Purse on Friday, November 13th from 7:30 pm until 11:00 pm for an evening of celestial contemplation.
At 7:30 PM the RASC will host a short presentation of a few of the many wonderful celestial panoramas that can be considered art in themselves. Artists have always striven to uniquely represent our natural surroundings and we now have the ability to observe so much more of our universe and interpret it artistically. We invite the public to once again join us in the celebrating International Year of Astronomy 2009.
Following the talk and weather permitting, members of the RASC will set up some of our telescopes outside. Through these we invite you to observe Jupiter and its Galilean Moons. There will also be many other early Winter deep sky objects that we should be able to locate with our equipment.
