March 20th 2010 celebrated the 4th International Sidewalk Astronomy Night. Sri Lanka joined the celebration for the 2nd time.
Royal College Astronomical Society(RCAS) brought two telescopes to the Galle Face Green on the night of 20th. Interestingly same day there was a big concert at the venue which become handy for the sidewalk session.
The public sidewalk session went on for two hours under heavy light pollution – specially from the concert. But with good music and food, people enjoyed beautiful views of Moon and Saturn.
Some photos from the event:
