At this year's Orkney International Science Festival in September the Moon put in an appearance. And not just in the sky! It dropped into the local school for all to see. The exhibition was by SkyranMOON and it tours around the UK. It was fascinating to see, and as the building isn't that high you could get really close up to it! OK, so it was really a giant balloon, BUT it was a proper representation of the proper moon with all the geological features. There were talks and lectures and various sound effects. I only had a short time to pop in but just sat and gazed at it (as I do the real moon!). It was fun and really educational for kids and adults alike! So here are a few pictures of The Moon!
Hundreds of people young and old went to visit the exhibition. Brilliant idea!
I would have gone to see that. I'll have a look out to see if something like that comes around here.
ReplyDeleteIt was fascinating. OK you can see the joins etc but I just loved being able to study the surface of the moon in full and walk all the way round it.
DeleteI want to see that!
ReplyDeleteThe population of your island is 23? wow! That's amazing.
Yes! In just about a dozen homes...
DeleteI saw this when it came to Glasgow. Fabulous.
ReplyDeleteOooh great. It was such fun and the kids just loved it which is great. Anything to encourage an interest in science has to be good.
