For everybody who happens to speak German and wants to attend an outreach talk about the boundaries of our cosmological knowledge, next Monday is your chance to meet and discuss with me here: https://astronomiemuseum.de/termindetails?termin_id=709

Thanks again to Konstantin Haubner and the entire Kortizes team for the highly interesting evening.
Being there live is always better, as the discussion was much longer than what's on the video...

Yesterday I had an amazing day at the Oxfordshire Home Ed Summer Camp. We did #LunarSketching of the #PtolemaeusTrio (+ one child drew an astronaut on the Moon!). When the clouds cleared loads of children & adults got to see the Moon through my telescope. Here's a collage of their awesome drawings #AstronomySketching #AstronomyOutreach #MoonSketching #PastelArt #SpaceArt #PastelDrawing #Moon

On #PastelPencil sharpening duty as I'm doing another #AstronomySketching workshop at a home education camp tomorrow. Hoping for some clear patches so we can look at the live view through the #telescope, because the #Moon's phase tomorrow is absolutely perfect for crater & mountain sketching 🥰 #AstronomyDrawing #AstronomyOutreach

This evening I'm heading down to London to do an #AstronomySketching workshop for the lovely people at Flamsteed AS. Yesterday I sharpened all of my pastel pencils and organised the rest of my pastels & charcoal sticks. So excited to see everybody's work later :-) #AstronomyDrawing #AstronomyArt #SpaceArt #ArtTeacher #AstronomyOutreach

I had a wonderful afternoon teaching two primary school classes how to draw lunar craters. They all did such a fantastic job! I hope the school send me some photos of their work so I can share them :) #AstronomySketching #LunarSketching #AstronomyOutreach

Negative COVID test this morning, so I'm about to head up to Wolverhampton to give my last in person talk of 2022 for Wolverhampton AS, my History of Women in Astronomy Part 1 talk. So looking forward to catching up with my friends there :-) #astronomytalk #astronomyoutreach #womeninastronomy #astronomycommunicator #astronomyspeaker
