Hello all,
The program venue was ‘Mangaldas Haveli’ situated in the old city. Our team arrived well in advance to set up the posters, telescope, projector and other paraphernalia. The session was scheduled for at least 100 minutes of Saturn observation through the telescope.
Since the Haveli was laid out typically, our plan for the activities had to be devised accordingly – The telescope as well as the display of posters was set up on the terrace, while the cut out of Yuri Gagarin was set up at the ground floor entry along with the projector.
The multi media presentation on ‘Beyond the Solar System’ was set up in a loop on ground floor to introduce the beauty of universe to visitors.
Enthusiastic participants started turning up before time the official commencement time at and were bowled over by novel idea of astronomy trivia in the posters. They also enjoyed viewing Saturn through the telescope – a repeated chorus of ‘Wows’ that resulted were very encouraging! We explained the uniqueness of the ‘Saturnine cycle of rings’ visible from the earth through a Saturn phase chart.
From 5 years to 50 years, all happily placed their faces and enjoyed space suit photo with Yuri.
The Radio astronomy quiz winners were asked to collect their prizes from the venue. By calling them at venue, we wanted them to enjoy not only astronomy but also the glorious heritage of the city.
We also distributed lapel buttons with logo of ‘100 hours of Astronomy’ to all visitors.
We would like to sincerely thanks to following people for the successful event: Urvi Vyas, Rajesh Nath, Usha Nath, Jigar Darji, Stephen Samuel, Ravi Gamit, Abhay Mangaldas and the staff at Mangaldas Haveli.
