Are you an ASWA Junior Member or do you know someone aged 12 or above who is interested in Astronomy and would like to join a club? Then this is for you/them. ASWA’s new Junior Section is starting in February 2014. There’ll be lots to learn about telescopes, the moon, sun, planets and beyond. Throughout the year we’ll do indoor activities and night-time observing challenges, including the Lunar 100 and the Messier Catalogue. Email us if you’d like to express your interest or you want to know more.
