RASC National Society: The Insider's Guide to the Galaxy - Globular Cluster Spectacular (ONLINE)
Join us online to learn basic astronomy that you can do on your own from your backyard!
We'll give you the tools to learn astronomy on your own at home, along with some observing goals to try. All you need is your computer! A pair of binoculars will help, but are not necessary. Sessions are always on Tuesdays at 3:30pm ET, but frequency of sessions changes.
Tuesday, June 7th
Globular Cluster Spectacular - Chris Vaughan
• Summer is globular cluster season in Canada! We'll cover what those mysterious balls of stars are and why they don't collapse. We'll highlight globulars that are visible with unaided eyes and binoculars. Then we'll hand out the "Globie Awards" - the nearest, farthest, biggest, smallest, and most interesting globular clusters to observe and image. In Messier Minutes, we'll focus on the westerly summer Messier objects.
