WAC Summer Social - Friday 10th July
The Weymouth Astronomy Club Summer Social begins at our usual time of 7:30, but in the Rembrandt Hotel bar instead of our usual venue. Activities include a Solar Viewing experience (weather permitting!), as well as a practical activity, making Starlight Lanterns, and a talk about how the Polynesians Navigated using a star compass and you'll get a chance to create your own star compass for the place where you live.
If you want to make a Starlight Lantern, please bring an empty glass jar with the label removed. All other materials will be provided. To make a Polynesian Star Compass, please bring a pair of compasses. You'll also need a ruler, a pencil and a rubber. Everything else will be provided.
