NIGHT WATCH 2K16

Most of us go through life looking straight ahead. But when we reach some point, the stress we gain from it can tear us down. So it is good for us to stop once in a while and look up, because you’ve got to look up to see stars. The magical scenery they create will surely sooth all your pain and stress and then it will allow you to relax, enjoy and get amused by the little things in life that you didn’t see earlier.   In order to get away from the busy stressful lives, four outstanding Leo clubs of 306A2 Leo Club of University of Moratuwa, Leo Club of Godigamuwa, Leo Club of Katuwawala and Leo Club of Sri Lanka Technological Campus together with the Astronomical Association of University of Moratuwa and the Subhodi Institute, Piliyandala organized a stargazing camp “NIGHT WATCH 2K16” presenting a new experience to all the Leos of Sri Lanka.  It was a Night Sky Observation Camp and an Astronomy Workshop held on 12th of November at Remuna Vidyalaya, Horana from 6PM onwards. Many Leos who are curious about mysteries of the universe and love stargazing took part in this amazing event.

Even though we gathered to admire the beauty of the night sky, she concealed her beauty with heavy showers like a pretty princess hides her beauty with pride. But the organizers did not let her ruin the whole unforgettable cosmic experience which was planned to go till sunrise. First Astronomical Association of University of Moratuwa gave a basic idea on astronomy which gave everyone a light to follow the stargazing path. The telescope which was brought by the Subhodi Institute, Piliyandala was the most exciting thing in this whole event. They explained every part of the telescope, how to focus it and how to use it. Although we could not see the stars the organizers made it sure to make it an unforgettable memory for every Leo who participated. So the NIGHT WATCH for the year 2016 ended with style.
