Spring Star Gazing
Success (Mar 28th, 2009) Star
gazers in Newtonhill were blessed with clear skies on Saturday
night (March 28th) and braved freezing temperatures to enjoy the
Spring Star Watch event organised by Aberdeen Astronomical
Society. About 90 people enjoyed the evening that included talks
on astronomy and telescope observing.
A highlight of the evening was the Cosmic

able to go outside and see the real thing for themselves. read
