ABOUT
Sharing Excitement. Sharing Ideas. Sharing Community.
Our Astronomical Society consists of getting together on a regular basis in order to share ideas and enjoy activities based on our common interest (On an online platform only, currently). Skygazers' Society promotes and expects a non-judgmental and supportive attitude from participants. If you’re interested in joining or would like to learn more, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Our vision is to help educate and raise awareness about Space and it's ever increasing vastness. We also focus on collaboratively learning Astronomy and its field.

WHY ARE WE HERE?
Space is unarguably the most exciting upcoming industry of the modern age. What was once an exclusive sector, with a sole focus on rocket launches, is quickly developing into an innovative and fast paced industry. As we witness an exponential growth of space technologies it only makes sense that more and more students are looking towards a career that involves space.
Despite this, there is still no clear path for students to immerse themselves, or even explore what the future of space is all about. It is apparent that the future of Space cannot be limited to Physicists, Engineers, and Scientists, despite the perceived “space career" image.
​
Our Society mainly targets upon providing young students the perfect platform to express their ideas and thoughts about Space and Space Technologies.
​
We want that every student should be able to recognize their ability to contribute to the future of the space industry, for the betterment of humanity as a whole.
SKYGAZERS' SOCIETY OFFERS WEEKLY FUN FACTS.
Say 'Wow!'
NOT MUCH!
If you could lump together all the thousands of known asteroids in our solar system, their total mass wouldn’t even equal 10 percent of the mass of Earth’s Moon.
A LONG WEEK INDEED!
A Venus year is approximately 225 Earth days long. The bad news is we would have to wait up to four Earth years for a weekend. That’s because a day on Venus is longer than its year! (243 Earth days)!
PHEW! GOOD THAT WE ARE NOT ON NEPTUNE!
Neptune’s winds are the fastest in the solar system, reaching 2,575 kilometers per hour (1,600 miles per hour)! Neptune’s giant, spinning storms could swallow the whole Earth.
