Overcast skies cloud Milky Way Day
Participants at Elk Island’s Milky Way Day did not experience what they were hoping for; a clear view all the way to space.
“We were hoping to see the sun today. There are a couple of sun spots that haven’t been named yet,” said Bob Lawrence, member of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada. “Usually we will stay out until 10 or 11 o’clock at night, but it’s not looking very good.
“According to our forecast it’s not going to clear up.”
Lawrence was manning one of three telescopes set up for Elk Island Park’s Milky Way Day where the group has congregated every Labour Day for the past 12 years. The event gives people the chance to see the heavens through a telescope strong enough to view planets, stars and even the sun.

“It’s always disappointing when the skies are cloudy,” said Doug Hube, National Honourary President of RASC “But we have information we can share with visitors if they come to our little tent. There’s some hand-outs for the young children.”
