Royal Society of Western Australia
As part of the activities for the International Year of Astronomy 2009, the Society is collaborating with the Perth Observatory at Bickley to engage the public in an open day excursion, holding an event called "A day of astronomy".
While appearing a contradiction in terms, as astronomy is normally considered as a night-time viewing affair, this event will take the public on a tour of the instruments of the Perth Observatory, observe some of the objects visible during the day (e.g., Venus).
The staff of the Perth Observatory will take RSWA members, families, guests, and the interested public on a tour of the instruments of the Observatory, explaining their history and function, and will train a telescope onto what is observable in the day-time.
