3) Friday August 20th, 8pm.
4) Saturday August 21st, **6pm**. Astrophotography theme.

So if you want to escape your day-to-day planet Earth
concerns and instead ponder the mysteries of the night sky
and Universe, then come along!
Bring your 5 senses to an Astronomy evening with the
Mornington Peninsula Astronomical Society. See the Universe
through powerful telescopes, hear the REALLY BIG questions
out there and experience some of the short space films from
this year's CSIRO SCINEMA (Science Cinema). Feel and smell
meteorites scarily up close and personal, and get the taste
for more. The evening starts indoors with a multimedia talk
and Q&A then, weather permitting, moves outside onto the
adjacent observing field with the telescopes underneath the
night sky. Please dress appropriately for being outdoors and
on a grassy or uneven surface. You may bring a small torch
if you wish. For the armchair astronomers, short astronomy
films from this year's CSIRO SCINEMA festival will be
screened indoors during the evening from about 9pm.
Standard items occurring on a monthly basis are as
follows:
 | Held on the FIRST FRIDAY of each month at the Briars
