Stargazing

Bonjour Newbies,

We hope you are enjoying spring. It is always wonderful to see plants wake from their long winter slumber!

Aaaah le printemps! Le chant des oiseaux, le soleil qui nous chauffe…les insectes qui nous piquent! Mais nous pouvons quand même observer les étoiles à l’abri des moustiques. Soyez des nôtres pour une soirée au planétarium Doran à l’Université Laurentienne.

Since 2009 is the International Year of Astronomy, for our next event we will turn our gaze skyward…well, at least in this structure you have to look up. Join us for an evening at the Doran Planetarium at Laurentian University. The Doran is the largest planetarium in Ontario and one of a dozen or so scattered around the country. It is truly a local treasure!

Paul-Émile Legault, the planetarium Director, will guide us on a journey through our solar system and beyond.

When: Monday, May 25 at 7:00pm
Where: We shall meet in the Fraser Auditorium Foyer at Laurentian University at 6:45pm.

To get there: Turn right onto University Rd. from Ramsey Lake Rd. The Fraser Auditorium is number 9 on the Campus map.

The cost is $3 per person. Children 6 and up are welcome and free.

Space is limited...well, actually it is infinite...but the planetarium has a limited number of seats so please let us know if you will be attending by sending an email to sudburynewbies@yahoo.ca.

Have a great long weekend!
Your Newbies Crew
