Again we will meet for our new Astronomy Night! During this night, we will tackle the origins of various calendars; including the Gregorian, Coptic, Hijri, Persian and Hebrew calendars. What are the foundations of these calendars? How were they established? How did they evolve? And, which is the most precise? Why are there several calendars? We will also discuss many more topics.

 Join us to learn about it and other interesting facts.
