The Maldives Science Society has held a stargazing event for the students of Thaajudhdheen School’s science club. The event was held at Thaajudhdheen premises at 7 pm on 28 February 2010 and was attended by some 150 students. The event was held as a response to an eager request from Thaajudhdheen School and was organized jointly by the Maldives Science Society and Thaajudhdheen School. The event revolved around a powerful telescope which gave the students a chance to see up close the Moon and some planets of the Solar System. During a Q&A session, a British mathematician and scientist, Thomas Goodey, also answered questions raised by the students.
