Febuary Public Astronomy Talk

We had this afternoon (today Feb 27, 2016 at 6 PM) the regular meeting with the members of the association (Public Astronomy Talk).
We were discussing about the planet Mars. The core members were present and after a short PowerPoint presentation on the subject, a documatary film was projected ("Mars, the red planet").

Then the discussion was about the planet and the recent discovering of water on it.

One of the goal of the Haitian Astronomical Society is to make young Haitians interrested about astronomy. We try to engage them and have them informed and trained about the subject of astronomy. For this particular reason, we have scheduled a particular calendar distributed to members.
According to this calendar, each last saturday of a month, we have a meeting to inform and train about a subject on astronomy. This time then we were talking again about the planet Mars.

We are waiting for all interrested persons to be part of these meeting with video projection and discussion; But we understand too that since these regular meeting are done on the HQ of the association and at 5 H PM, some persons could not really participate even if they would like to. But we can not move for now since the projector we are using is in fact a roof-fixed one and owned by the institution where we are sharing office.

We would promise that we are currently applyng for a project to extend our public talk about astronomy. Please stay tuned as we may launch this project (for the extension of public astronomy talk.)
