not to enter! Even the BBC Sky at
Night team entered...and no guesses
as to where they came on the leader
board! They walked away with the
most coveted of prizes...a free download to the wonderful Awesome
Astronomy podcast! Really must
swot harder for the next one...
Another highlight of the weekend
was Jenifer Millard’s fascinating
talk on exo-planets with some
amazing facts and great audience
participation, including a demonstration of the evolution of the known Universe using a “clothes line”
and pegged images! A great Q and A session saw
the youngest preschool camp attendee offering...”I
have a question...what’s this?”...Followed by a cracking shadow puppet onto the projection screen! It
really was an informative and fun packed afternoon for all ages!
Before you knew it, it was dusk once more and
it really is a truly magical place on the common.
