Space

Something I've been doing at home is taking advantage of the clear nights and looking up in the sky. We spotted the International Space Station the other night, and whilst doing so, spotted a number of satellites. Last night we watched a string of satellites, known as Starlink. If you know the time these are passing over, and the sky is clear, you might be able to spot them too. It's also great to spot planets and star constellations, as well as looking at the moon.  Find out more about SPACE on the links.
