AstroDay Chile

January 17, 2013

AstroDay Chile was held on Saturday, January 12, 2013 (Figure 4). This annual event provides an opportunity to share the fun and excitement of astronomy with our local Chilean community. Fifteen organizations from around Chile participated, including other professional observatories, tourist observatories, and academic institutions. The presentations in Gemini’s StarLab planetarium were extremely popular, as usual, and the more than 2,000 visitors were full of questions for the participating astronomers.
