Dark night skies

February halfterm 2019 - our first John Muir Award adventure... We attended the South Downs National Park Authority’s Dark Night Skies event in Lewes. Lots of hands on activities including a giant colouring wall, virtual reality and real telescopes 🔭. We learnt about the importance of dark night skies for wildlife and also the fact that 2019 is the 50th anniversary of the moon landings. The South Downs is also designated as a dark night skies reserve. We shared this day out with our younger cousin who had a great time!
