A Passion for the Planets

A space odyssey presentation enjoyed by Hemyock Women recently was a really valuable introduction to the solar system in which we live – and the planets well beyond!

Sitting inside a large mobile planetarium dome erected for the presentation, the women were able to get a sense of the immense size and beauty of the ‘heavenlies’ as they saw the planets revolving above and around them.

Presented by Simon Ould whose passion for the planets is infectious, the evening was both educational and thoroughly enjoyable said Hemyock Women’s coordinator Terri Wheeler. The event was so popular that there was a waiting list for those wanting to attend and so a further visit is planned for May.
