GAIA kick starts the opening of the National Astronomy Week with a valentines viewing of the planets at Keys School Manila.
The GAIA team gathered together on the evening of February 13 to do their regular participation in the free telescope viewing events of the Manila Street Astronomers at the UP Town Center. Armed with a Maksutov and an SCT, they eventually went to Keys at 3:00 in the morning to meet up with the excited students and teachers. The event was organized through the coordination of Norman Marigza, Luna Marie Garcia of SMILE group, and teacher Sandy Adriano of Keys. Special mention also goes to Gary Andreassen of the MSA who wanted to join with the GAIA team and lent us his SCT.
