Astronomy Night: Telescope 101
Want a telescope but don’t know what to get or how to use one?
We have an introductory session on this Friday with Antony Gomez (President of the Wellington Astronomical Society) that will give you the tools and knowledge to get started!
We'll be looking at different telescopes (reflective and refractive), types of lenses, how telescopes differ and what objects in the sky are best to look at. There will be telescopes on show if you want have a look at the different types. You are welcome to bring your own telescope along if you are having difficulty in using it.
War Memorial Library - Friday 12 October, 6:30pm
(The Wellington Astronomical Society will be here from 6pm setting up their telescopes.)
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
60% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.7% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.3% ... It is complicated
