Space Oddity

Went to Woolsthorpe Manor (the birthplace of Sir Isaac Newton) for an evening of education. Amateur Astronomers brought their telescopes for us to look through, there were a couple of talks about space and big telescopes, we were shown the night sky in an inflatable planetarium (what a great idea!) and to cap it all the International Space Station came across the (almost) clear sky. Quite enjoyable, if a little geeky.
