For those with a spare couple of minutes, you may want to put in a entry on behalf of your school to win a solar telescope. Surveying and Spatial Sciences industries and the Astronomical Association of Queensland have 100 for schools across Australia to win. The competition closes this Thursday. The telescopes are ideal to use with small groups for safe observing of the upcoming Transit of Venus in June and a Solar Eclipse in November.
