The RASC Observatory at the TELUS World of Science presented International Astronomy Day on May 7.

The RASC set up a booth in the lobby of the TELUS World of Science and provided information on the club, how to get started in astronomy. Examples of telescopes, both good and bad, were on display for visitors.
