@bothacarol Sounds like loads of fun🤓

I would be lying if I say I do not miss those days. These youngsters - all such precious little human beings 💗, inspired me to try and learn as much as I could before each outreach event. #astronomy #outreach @OrionObsGroup

🎉 Sat 21 December - Be sure to be at the last stargazing picnic of 2019 when The Taalmonument and OOG 'Greet the Hunter'. Oh yes, Orion will be there. It's going to be a festivity of picnic and stargazing @ShowMePaarl @bothacarol @paarlpost1 @CapeTown #stargazing

[OrionObsGroup @OrionObsGroup]

📌Save these dates. Tomorrow evening, 23 Nov is the first of this season's Stargazing picnics🔭 The Taalmonument is located high on the slopes of Paarl Mountain giving much better views of the night sky than in the city @visitpaarl @ShowMePaarl @taalmonument #thingstodo #weekend

Some amazing shots of the Moon coming in today. This one's a work of art

[Carol Botha @bothacarol]

Next week, July 16, we will be seeing a partial eclipse of the Moon from SA. Always a good idea to rekindle friendship with the Moon and hold on to that "handle" before such an event #Moon #moonlight #astronomy

[Carol Botha @bothacarol]

Ever so slight darkening on the rim - almost eclipse time - hopping on over to @Slooh #LunarEclipse #astronomy #moonlight

Reading the weather forecast is almost like reading horoscopes (horrorscopes) but I have one forecaster that I can talk to. They've got it almost right but I'll have to ask for a tad of tweaking. Don't want to see those ☁️☁️It's partial eclipse of the #Moon #astronomy thanks guys
