I attended a Mission Astro Hot Choc Star Hop Workshop and I saw Saturn (and it’s rings!) for the first time! I learnt my way around the night sky and was able to share that knowledge with my family! Had a wonderful evening and the hot chocolate and space cupcake were delicious!

At the Hot Choc Star Hop Workshop I (a complete novis in the world of astronomy) attended in Hartley Wintney Cuppies ‘n’ Cream, I saw a smudge in the sky. After chatting to Dr Sarah Crick I learnt that it was a beautiful star cluster called the Pleiades!! And … I got to see it through a telescope too! Had a lovely evening and learnt lots about the sky! Will certainly be going back to try again.

I have always been interested in astronomy, but I prefer more theoretical knowledge rather than popular science. For me, Mission Astro is just about that. You get taught by a trained astrophysicist (with a PhD from Cambridge!) in a professional but very accessible manner and also meet so many prominent scientist along the way. I think this is the best course for a person with a genuine interest in astrophysics. P.S. The price is fantastic!

DJ is still exploring his interests, so when we find a free lesson to try, that is age appropriate, we are very excited. He participated in the free taster session from justgoodscience. It was over one hour long so we broke it up into sections. His favourite part was comparing a chocolate bar to a black hole. He also has a new favourite word ‘spaghettification’ and has told anyone who will listen the word and meaning.
