‘It’s raining stars’ Elanora librarian Barney with my constellation umbrella :-)
Over the Easter school holidays from the 6th to 16th April, I gave three very exciting and fun presentations on Astronomy and Space for the Gold Coast Libraries ‘Out of this World’ space event for children aged 7 to 12 years.
All the children who attended had lots of fun learning about space, and I’m sure they’ll be going outside in there gardens to discover the night sky and catching up with what NASA’s Mars Rover Perseverance and its amazing Mars helicopter are getting up to on the red planet :-)
The Gold Coast library’s advertising team made up these large space rockets, for display in all their libraries, where everybody enjoyed taking lots of pictures of themselves...even I had fun taking a photo ;-)
(Please find below some images taken from each library event)

Humans have been fascinated by the red planet Mars since the beginning of time, right now many robotic spacecraft have landed and are orbiting the planet in preparations for humans to visit, come and hear all about this amazing journey of exploration to Mars.

The Moon is Earth's constant companion in the night sky that shows us different phases night after night. The Moon also is the only celestial object in the solar system where humans have walked upon its surface and now we are going back to build a Moon base…Wow!
