A starry night tonight was perfect for out visit to Seething Observatory. I was worried that not all would find their way there, but we had a an almost full turn out. We saw constellations, and exploding stars, and distant galaxies and were treated to an excellent talk by David Balcombe.

Visit to Seething Observatory

On 16th Oct' we arrived at Seething Observatory to find a cloudless clear sky just right for star gazing.

Love Where You Live ~ Big Clear Up

Cubs Scouts and Beavers took part in this joint event with Macdonalds.

We collected litter over a wide area of Lakenham. 269.9Kg to be exact. Scouts from 9 Groups across Norfolk collected some 2300 Kgs which is as amazing as it is sad. Macdonalds not only put up a prize, winners to be announced, but the manager got all the volunteers a meal at the end as a thank you.

Tonight was a bit clearer and we got outside with our binoculars but there's a lot of light pollution here so we couldn't see many stars, still the final of the conker knockout saw Ben as the winner.

Back at NHCC this week beginning our Astronomy, however not only were there no stars visible it rained on us too. However we started a conker tournament and found out about constellations.
