August 2013 astro events
Hello,
On august 8th, 2013, we gathered at the Eurospace Center for the first of the Nights of the Shooting Stars (Nuits des Etoiles Filantes). We met the medias, saw conferences, shoew our stuff to the public and saw the HTV chasing ISS. About 850 people came.
On saturday 10th, the CAO and Astroclub Vega had our common event at Louvan-la-Neuve and we had an explanation of the solar system by Linda, the meteors on radio by Thierry and the sky cleared just as night set and we had a record number of visitors..more than 200 !! We were happy, all the time busy pointing our telescopes at planets and stars. I even talked about Starry Night.org and its initiative to fight against light pollution. We saw ISS twice.
It was our most successful public event ever.
