ASTRONOMY 2008

Start:	Aug 16, '08 10:00a
End:	Aug 16, '08 5:00p

Dear fellow astronomer,

On behalf of SINGASTRO, the largest online astronomy forum in
Singapore, I am pleased to invite you to attend ASTRONOMY 2008 which
is to be held at the Singapore Art Museum (The Glass Hall) in
Singapore on the 16th of August, 2008 (Saturday). ASTRONOMY 2008 is a
full-day astronomy event and open to public (free admission) from the
hours of 10AM to 5PM. This event will feature a series of astronomy
talks ranging from astrophysics theories to practical astronomy, and
even an interactive workshop on astronomy imaging. There will also be
poster exhibits that will enlighten attendees on astronomy topics such
as the Solar System, to Deep Sky objects. The attendees will also be
treated to a collection of original astronomy images captured by our
local budding astrophotographers and around South East Asia. Other
interesting activities include a documentary screening on cosmology,
instant lucky draws, sun-gazing (viewing of the Sun with specialized
telescope instruments in Hydrogen Alpha, expect to see flares and
prominences on the sun!), the opportunity to view the largest
private-based telescope in South East Asia (bigger than the one at the
Science Center Observatory!), and many more!
