Paul's
image on Spaceweather.com
Paul caught the Space Shuttle Discovery
and it's External tank on 3 images taken about twenty minutes
after launch on Saturday May 31st 2008 and the best image was submitted
to Spaceweather.com
and is one of several pictures showing the pair passing over
Europe. If you can't see it then check the archives page for June
1st 2008 or check our own astrospace gallery or Picture of the Month
page for June 2008.
Paul read and thoroughly enjoyed an Historical
novel about Hereward the Wake by Lincolnshire author Laurence
J. Brown. Go here to read
a review of the book.
Every month we put a favourite picture taken by us up on this page. It has a broad range of subjects as well as Butterflies and Astronomy so do watch out for the next picture of the month! The POTM has been re-vamped but the initial 'current' POTM remains the same format so do take a look and enjoy!
BBC (Radio) Lincolnshire have me in occasionally to talk about space and astronomy so if you are in Lincolnshire & the surrounding area then tune in to FM 94.9 or 104.7 to find out what's up & happening in the night sky for the month ahead. Topics covered often include a round up of sky events, planets available, what stars to look out for & identify as well as info on the ISS (International Space Station) & when it can be seen.
Over the last few years I have held approx.
9 or 10 times a year Starnights at Gibraltar
Point near Skegness in
conjunction with the Lincolnshire Wildlife
Trust (LWT). I take a Telescope and show the
public the night sky, or if cloudy, I give a public
talk on an aspect of Astronomy and Space. The 2010 dates
are on our site. Each evening will have a specific
theme with a publicized talk but if the sky is clear
enough to observe then the telescope will be used instead.
The Starnights will also be spread amongst four LWT sites
for 2009: Gibraltar Point
Visitor Centre, Skegness, Whisby Wildlife Park near
Lincoln, the Trust Headquarters at Banovallum House,
Horncastle and Far Ings Nature Reserve. I also now do Starnights for the Forestry Commission
at Chambers Farm Wood near Bardney and at Normanby Hall, North Lincolnshire
so see the Starnights page for details.
