📌 The RASC Winnipeg June meeting will be held downtown at the Manitoba Museum's Planetarium.
🆓 This meeting is free and open to the public to attend.
For the meeting this month, we have a special treat courtesy of the Manitoba Museum and Planetarium Astronomer Scott Young. Scott will use the Museum’s Planetarium technology to take us on a tour through our galaxy - The Milky Way. We will see the view from Earth of star clusters, nebulae, and other celestial objects, then use planetarium magic to visit these objects in 3D space and see how our galactic neighbourhood all fits together.
