The Winchester School is inaugurating its first ever Astronomy Club next Tuesday. We’ll meet weekly after school to watch videos and presentations and discuss the stars, the mysteries of deep space, the possibility of extra-terrestrial life, and various wonders of the cosmos. (We will definitely not be discussing horoscopes and astrology).
We’ll also be going on field trips to Dubai Astronomy Group (DAG) events and to the desert (we’ll use my Celestron CPC 1100 2800mm GPS telescope to view the rings of Saturn, the red spot of Jupiter, the polar ice caps on Mars, the Orion Nebula, the Andromeda galaxy, and various other astronomical events like meteor showers etc.) Our first field trip is to the Sharjah Planetarium on 20 Oct.
Club Presidents: Raya and Shafnaa (11G)
