Report

Two members of the Ghana Planetarium team shared the Transit of Mercury with close to 400 students and staff of Osu Presby Girls School in Accra! After a short talk on the Solar System, students were very excited to actually see planet Mercury using a Solarscope and also view the sun safely using eclipse glasses. (An astronomy club was recently set up at the school thanks to funding from the IAU 100 Special Projects)
