RASC SUDBURY ASTRONOMY CLUB: SOLAR OBSERVATORY PROJECT 1980-1989

by STEVE DODSON

In the first few years of its existence, the new Sudbury Astronomy Club drew on the knowledge, skills, and energy of its members to engage in a bold project that earned it a lasting place of honour in the Sudbury Community.

This project succeeded through a unique partnership between the Club and another remarkable organization founded in the early 1980s, the Science Centre that became Science North. Both the Club and the Science Centre focussed rising community interest in Science.
