The next public stargazing talk I will be conducting is titled "The Summer Triangle & Perseid Meteor Shower".
Date: Monday, 5 Aug 2013
Time: 7:30pm - 8:30pm
Venue: Toa Payoh Public Library. Level 1 Programme Zone.
Admission is free. No pre-registration required. Late-comers also welcomed!
Participants will be taught how to identify and appreciate the one of the most prominent asterism formed by 3 bright star in 3 separate constellations. A3-size printed star maps will also be distributed.
The last segment of the talk will be about the upcoming Perseid Meteor Shower - the best and most anticipated meteor shower of 2013! Learn how and where to catch them right here in Singapore!
Weather permitting, during/after the talk, there will be an impromptu live stargazing session at open space just outside the library. You can observe stars and Saturn through our telescopes!
So bring your family and friends along and acquire skills that will enable you to enjoy stargazing for the rest of your life!
******************************
These public stargazing talks are usually conducted on the third Monday of each month. Due to some changes in the library schedules, only for the month of August, it will be conducted on the first Monday instead (5 Aug 2013). Sorry for my late announcement and potential inconvenience this may have caused.
The latest GoLibrary publication and website do reflect the correct date of 5th of August.
Since my August talk is now happening before Perseid Meteor Shower, I have decided to include this in my talk content so participants can be aware of this in advance.
I just found out about this group, the talk and the perseid asteroid shower, too late i know, but can you share details on how we can see this from Singapore?
ReplyDeleteWow yea too late, I would like to know the timing for the meteor showers also. Will we be able to see it anywhere in singapore? Its so brightly lit here at night.
