After dinner, be introduced to the stars and the Spring Equinox with Rod DeVries, an amateur astronomer based in Southern Alberta.
This day marks the official end of winter and the beginning of spring! At the Spring Equinox, the earth experiences equal day and night with the sun rising in the east and setting in the west. The earth takes us on an annual journey around the sun that is about a 940 million kilometer trip with the equinox being one of our destination stops.
Amateur astronomer Rod DeVries will share his knowledge throughout the night about the Equinox and the treasures found in the March night sky.
