We started with a talk in one of the lecture rooms, where Ged showed us some great websites and we looked at googlemoon and googlemars before splitting into two groups.
One group went into the Planetarium inside where we could look at any stars, in any part of the world at any time!
We also had a demonstration of some of the vast distances there are in space, although using a football for the sun!
The groups then swapped over and we went outside to see the huge telescopes. Unfortunately, it was very cloudy and we couldn't look through them.
It was a great evening, much enjoyed by all. Thanks to all the students and staff at the observatory. We'd like to come back when it's not cloudy!
