SUMMARY:Young Astronomers Group - The Astro Game Show and Meteorites
DESCRIPTION:In this session\, I will bring some rocks from space (meteorites) to the session\, where you get to hold a fragment from space in your hands. And I will show you the billion year long stories of them.\nBut that’s just the beginning! In the second half\, gear up for The Astro Game Show\, a highly engaging quiz featuring all the hottest space topics we’ve explored this year. Compete with your peers\, test your knowledge\, and prove you’re the ultimate space ace. The winner will receive an exclusive opportunity to control a powerful online telescope and capture an image of any celestial object of their choice! Here’s something I took with the telescope network (below) \nDon’t miss out! This is your chance to learn\, compete\, and make your mark in the cosmos.

SUMMARY:Young Astronomers
DESCRIPTION:What would happen if you got too close to a black hole? Would you be stretched like spaghetti? Would you ever escape? Are black holes gateways straight to hell? This month\, we’re diving into the most mysterious objects in the universe: Black holes! From stellar-mass monsters just a few kilometers across to supermassive giants that could swallow entire star systems\, each black hole is a universe of its own. Get ready to unravel their secrets\, from insane amounts of gravity to the point of no return! \nJust to note: If Earth were compressed into a black hole\, it would be the size of a marble\, and do you know black holes bigger than the solar system exist?

SUMMARY:Young Astronomers Group March - Measuring Distances in Space
DESCRIPTION:Measuring distances in space \nDo we have to run the distance of a galaxy🏃\, throw a spacecraft to travel for hundreds of billions of kilometers🛰️ or use a light-year long ruler to measure the distances in space📏?\nWhat if I told you that scientists are able to measure the distances without the need of going to space?\nAnd young scientists like you can do it too? Right here in our home on planet Earth? \nFind out how we measure distances in space and how you can do it too in young astronomers group!

SUMMARY:Emerging Astronomers - How does a telescope work? And let's look through one.
DESCRIPTION:You might have seen or used a telescope\, but how do they actually work?\nThis Monday\, we will explore how telescope could make a dot in the sky look much more special like magic.\nIf the weather is good\, we will run the EWB Zeiss telescope half way into the meeting and look at objects such as Saturn\, Alpha Centauri\, Tarantula nebula and more.\nHope to see you there!
