The Astronomy
Interest Group studies all of nature beyond the realm of our
home planet Earth. The skills learnt and mastered can be applied
to safeguard nature on our own planet. Studies of the Venusian
and Martian atmospheres gave us the first warnings about greenhouse
gases and the importance of protecting the ozone layer. |

Collisions with the
earth by asteroids and comets have largely redirected the course
of evolution on earth.
The Group is led by a few enthusiasts who plan monthly outings based
on what is most interesting in the sky each month. The venue is
picked according to what kind of astronomical objects are to be
studied.
Often the outings are overnight, continued at dawn with some bird
watching or other terrestrial nature study.
Novices are most welcome to join our group and the Astronomy SIG
co-ordinators will gladly share the use of telescopes while introducing
the stars and constellations to you. |
