Rabwah Amateur Astronomy Club (RAAC), Pakistan

Hubble Ultra Deep Field
Welcome to the official blog of  RAAC, an amateur organization of astronomers. One of the first of its kind in  Pakistan, it has been made in the hope to provide a platform for amateur astronomers to share their experiences and help each other in discovering the wonders of our amazing neighborhood called space.
        From the start of time, mankind has looked to the heavens with awe, curiosity and sometimes fear. What looked like diamonds studded in the heavens, the concept of stars has changed from little twinkling lights to balls of fire so massive to shame our sun, from earth being the center of the universe to just a small planet revolving around a small star in a small galaxy in a HUGE universe. The more we peel back the skin of the sky the more enticing,beautiful and deep it becomes!!!
         We ourselves are beginners in this great and majestic field and hope to help others setting foot in the arena by mutually sharing our knowledge and findings. We hope to plan and conduct activities aimed at novice stargazers! Your help and encouragement will go a long way to make this possible. At the moment you can join the club only by subscribing to this blog (click on google join this site in the right bar), we hope that in near future we will start formal registration for the members of the club.
Thanking you all,
RAAC Team
