The mini-planetarium took part in the Astro 2 society's new academic year recruitment drive. Students paid a small entrance fee and enjoyed an exciting mini-dome presentation, as well as discount membership to Astro 2.

With such good marketing tactics, no wonder Astro 2 enjoys around 160 members and was voted last year's top society!
