Next vocational visit





On Monday 29th October my host, John, took me to the Herstmonceux Observatory and Science Centre in East Sussex. Ruth and Kent also accompanied and enjoyed themselves playing with the physics exhibits. We got to go and look at the different telescopes and learn about the Newton telescope. Unfortunately we were not there at night to witness the telescopes in use and to examine the stars for ourselves. I did get to learn about the different programs on offer at the science centre, where the exhibits got made, their funding and a little about the other science centres in the country. I am sure I wore them out with all my questions!
