Amazing to use the Lunar occultation of Venus as a way to see Venus with the naked eye at approx 1040am here in UK.
Yay I saw it! - as it reappeared to the right lower limb of the moon.

An outstanding atmospheric phenomena (Hengistbury Head in Dorset) 24th Feb at 1630. A halo-refraction type of event (sun setting behind me to west & crepuscular rays). I wonder what our Stone Age Ancestors on Hengistbury would have made of this? @Spicey_Spiney @BBCWthrWatchers

Tonight at dusk - Poole Bay. New Moon with reflected light 'earthshine' illuminating the unlit portion of the Moon; plus Venus of course!

Some events have attracted more than 100 people (mainly families) - the challenge now is to link this to other local heritage interests such astro-archaeology as people are also fascinated by their prehistoric ancestors and sense of place @TheRealFPA

#FPAdvent Day 22: This winter @ParksFndtn held astronomy events. This brought people to the park who may not usually visit & attendees saw the Moon, Jupiter and Saturn through telescopes! It's one of the many examples of events helping us to see parks in a new & exciting light.

Windy today BH6....no it's not #sewage on this occasion nor is it Whale sperm :) Foam forms as organic matter is churned up by the surf. Most sea foam isΒ not harmful to humansΒ & is often an indication of a productive ocean ecosystem.
