Astronomy show drew a standing-room-only crowd

Colleen O'Hare, president of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada's Okanagan Centre, (left rear) and director Guy Mackie staged a presentation on the wonders of the night sky to a standing-room-only crowd at the Nels Nelsen Chalet at Mount Revelstoke National Park on Tuesday evening. The event was regarded as a major success for science-lovers, even though an highly anticipated trek up to the summit watch the Perseid meteor shower was called off due to cloudy skies. David F.
