BBC Breakfast Lovely observatory background to BBC Breakfast at the Observatory Science Centre at Herstmonceux. But your viewers should know this unique heritage site is under threat. herstmonceuxobservatory.com
If you (like me) are fascinated by the Herstmonceux Observatory telescopes and want to see them looked after then please get involved in saving them!
The campaign has got some more media coverage today, thanks to Dr. Ryan French’s brilliant article. space.com/space-explorat… #savetheosc #savetheobservatorysciencecentre #observatory #theobservatory #theobservatorysciencecentre #herstmonceux #herstmonceuxobservatory

So the sun sets on another stargazing season at The Observatory Science Centre. Last night's themed event for the Lyrids meteor shower included an excellent talk from Robert Massey and some lovely views in Dome D of M35, a galaxy 35 million light years away.
It was great to hear during the special event Herstmonceux Castle Estate today, that they are currently in negotiations with the science centre & are looking forward to building a relationship with them. So fingers crossed for positive outcome of these discussions soon!
