Sky is the limit at new SFU observatory

SFU scientists Howard Trottier and Sophie Lavieri are concocting a full day of events on Saturday, Sept. 18 at the Burnaby campus to help raise public and potential donor awareness of SFU's envisioned observatory. They and the Vancouver chapter of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada (RASC)—which works with the duo and will be an observatory user and volunteer—are bringing in a space star as a presenter.

The day—which will also celebrate Astronomy Day, a North America-wide event hosted by the RASC nationally—will feature a solar scavenger hunt, astronomic and Science in Action workshops and a Starry Night party.

If this telescope is reasonable available for use by interested students, it'll be incredible.

Also: Sophie Lavieri is a great lab instructor.
