SKY OBSERVATION PROGRAMME
Meet the Moon, Jupiter, and Venus Through Your Own Eyes.
Hundreds Gather Under One Sky. Come Find Out Why.
There’s a moment that changes how people see astronomy forever: the first time they look through a telescope and see Saturn’s rings, Jupiter’s moons, or the Moon’s craters with their own eyes. CSTERC’s Sky Observation Programme brings that moment to communities, schools, and public spaces, guided by trained astronomers, using CSTERC’s own telescopes.
- The Opportunity
Not just stargazing. A first encounter with the universe.
Anyone can scroll past a photograph of Saturn. Nobody forgets the evening they watched its rings drift across the eyepiece with their own eyes. That first live look rewires how people relate to science — and it works on a six-year-old exactly as powerfully as it works on a CEO.
CSTERC’s Sky Observation Programme brings that moment to communities, schools, and public spaces — guided by trained astronomers, using CSTERC’s own telescopes. We handle the equipment, the science and the crowd; your ground only needs to hold the wonder.
