This afternoon we got to show an enthusiastic group of about 40 first-year science students from the University of Cape Town's Extended Degree Programme (warmly led by Assistant Dean David Gammon) around the telescopes. The students were full of energy & good questions, so will surely do well in whatever scientific fields they decide to pursue! Tonight they return for a night tour at the visitor centre & their timing is perfect; with Saturn, Mars & the Milky Way overhead, no moon & unseasonably warm weather for what's nominally the heart of winter...
