An astronomy night is the easiest way to see the sky through a telescope for the first time - with someone beside you who knows where to point it.
What happens
- A short introduction to the sky that evening: which planets are up, where the Moon is, the brightest stars and constellations.
- Observing at several telescopes, each with a guide from the Pakistan Science Club team.
- Questions, and help for anyone who has - or wants - a telescope of their own.
Where
Pakistan Science Club has held family astronomy nights in Karachi with partner venues, and telescope observation at the end of its STEM camps in Karachi and Islamabad. Nights are planned around the Moon's phase and the weather.
