Write Up:
We had clear skies, and my second attempt to do this stargazing event was much more successful than the first time - two weeks ago. We were shown Jupiter, the Ring Nebula, the Pleiades star cluster and the Andromeda galaxy (the closest galaxy to our own). We also saw the International Space Station pass by above Edmonton skies, although mysteriously it became invisible partway through its trip over our sky. After an hour out in the cold looking at the skies, 7 of us headed over to Hudson's nearby to warm up.

Thanks all for coming out!
