Tonight, at about 9.30pm UK time, @nasa and @SpaceX will try to launch the first crewed flight of the Dragon, taking two astronauts to the ISS. At 9.50, they should be visible from here - really looking forward to running into the garden to watch!
This week our Yr9 Astronomers have been challenged to look into the scale of the Solar System. Matthew has already set the bar high with his amazing Lego version! @AstronomyTles@TLES_Brainiacs @longeatonschool
Weโve received a great pre dawn photo, from one of our yr9 Astronomers Lachlan, of Saturn, Jupiter and the Moon. Mars has also been in a great position to spot too (for all you early birds) @longeatonschool @TLES_Brainiacs@AstronomyTles
