NOX CAELO - The Wonders of the Sky

-

 


'NOX CAELO' was a project done by the Rotaract club of University of Peradeniya in collaboration with the Foundation of Astronomical Studies and Explorations in order to develop the bond between members and strengthen their enthusiasm on night sky observation. It was held on the 27th of May, 2020 and it is one of the projects selected from the mini project season organized by our club.

At the beginning, “NOX CAELO” was planned to be conducted as an outdoor night sky observation camp but unfortunately, due to the pandemic situation of the world, it was limited to an online talk and a discussion on “The wonders of the night sky”.

Mr. Tharindu Rajasooriya, B.Sc. Hons. Physics Special (UOP), PhD Reading (Emory University) delivered the guest speech and conducted the discussion session based on the questions arose from the audience. The discussion was based on nearby astronomical events which were easily observable such as lunar eclipse on June 5, solar eclipse on June 21 etc.

The foremost beneficiaries of this project were the participants of the event and this was an opportunity to explore and gather new experiences.
