Will Hay MPhys

If you're out and about after 10pm tonight, I encourage you to look for the rising full moon. Should be a good one and look like it's eirily hanging low in the sky. Sunset red and appearing larger relative to the distant objects on the horizon.

Known as the Strawberry Moon to the Native Americans as that's what they ate around this time.

If you've not got a clear view of the South Eastern Horizon, it might be a bit later that you notice it, more like 11pm.
Happy Stargazing.

A family friendly stargazing event, with a number of binoculars and telescopes to share. Feel free to bring your own and have a gander at the moon, the planets and some deep sky objects.

Meet Will on the gravel next to the Eddington Cricket Field, 19:00-2100,
Sunday 22nd October

Targets: Jupiter, Saturn, The Moon, Pleiades Star Cluster, Andromeda Galaxy

A collection of Hippopotamus bones pieced together. Guess which hip comes from a female!

These hippos were found bathing in the river Cam 120,000 years ago.
