In line with the IYA2009 celebration, the JPPS began a stargazing series entitled
Exploring the Hidden Wonders of the Night Sky.
The idea is taken from IYA's theme "The Universe, Yours to Discover," in which the JPPS will allow first time telescope users to see what they usually don't see at night.
Most of the first time users have not even seen the milky way on a clear dark night, nor have they seen the satellites of planets, the galaxies and nebulae.
The first session was welcomed with scattered rain showers and technical problems, but this did not discourage the JPPS from pushing through with the activity. After a few hours,we were graced to observe Jupiter and its moons.
