Pilikula Regional Science Centre to oganise telescopic viewing of rare celestial event on Jan 11

Mangaluru: To facilitate public viewing of a rare celestial event, Pilikula Regional Science Centre (PRSC) in Mangaluru will organise a special telescope observation session on January 11, from 6.30 pm onwards.

Enthusiasts will have the opportunity to witness Mars, Jupiter, Venus, and Saturn, along with a detailed view of the Moon’s craters, said a PRSC release issued on Friday.

While some can be seen with the naked eye or binoculars, the experience is enhanced when observed through a telescope, the release added.

Additionally, visitors will be introduced to stars and star clusters by PRSC scientists.
