Astro-Adventures
Presented by Terence Dickinson
Does the Atacama Desert in Chile offer amateur
astronomers the finest observing conditions on Earth? Terence
Dickinson thinks so, and shows why as he describes his latest visit to what he
calls "Astronomical Nirvana.
THE SPEAKER

SkyNews magazine and Canada's best-selling author of astronomy books for adults
and children. He has travelled the world seeking the best places to
observe and photograph the heavens to illustrate his books and talks. In
recognition of his work in popularizing astronomy, Mr. Dickinson received the
Order of Canada in 1995.
