le=”text-align: justify; “>This year, Astronomy Day is to be marked on April 28.
On this occasion, a number of telescopes for amateur astronomers will be installed on the upper storeys of the Cascade complex in Yerevan, the Armenian Astronomical Society reports.
The Goodrike John organization headed by Buniatian Ruben is organizer of the event.
This event was started in 1973 by Doug Berger, the president of the Astronomical Association of Northern California. His intent was to set up various telescopes in busy urban locations so that passersby could enjoy views of the heavens. Since then the event has expanded and is now sponsored by a number of organizations associated with astronomy.
