What an incredible evening our Y5 astronomers had at Clanfield Observatory - a rare after‑school opportunity that many schools simply can’t offer. We’re so glad we were able to make this experience possible for those who could join us.

The children explored the domes, learned about the night sky, and even had the chance to look through the telescopes themselves. The tiny white dot you can see in the photo is Jupiter, and those little white specks beside it are three of its moons - all visible through the eyepiece. 🔭🌙

They also got to handle real meteorites, some made of rock and others of iron. Holding something that has travelled through space was a definite highlight!
