点评:What an amazing night! I was attending solo and I needn't have worried about being on my own, everything was so fascinating! Andy and Louise did an amazing job of hosting and it was a pleasure to meet Gary the brains behind it all. They are all so passionate and knowledgeable about astronomy and were happy to answer a wide range of questions. I was able to see Jupiter and 4 of its moons through a telescope, as well as a hazy Andromeda! I wish there had been more telescopes to look through (there were 3) as there was a line of people waiting behind me, so I rushed my go, whereas I could have spent a good few minutes looking through it! Also think they should consider stargazing Pods to stay the night, as the event I was attending was 8-11pm but would have happily stayed over looking at the stars myself all night! It was a cloudy night so I wasn't expecting to see much (but was offered a free return if it remained cloudy) but by some miracle the clouds departed and we were treated to a fabulous display of the constellations (they also had a handy laser to point them out direct which is a great idea!)
When I was leaving I told them it was one of the best nights of my life and I really meant it! Being able to see these things in real life was just fabulous, well done to Gary for providing this to us Space nerds!
翻译:多么美妙的夜晚!我独自一人参加,完全不用担心孤单,因为一切都太精彩了!Andy 和 Louise 的主持工作做得非常棒,而且很高兴能见到幕后策划者 Gary。他们都对天文学充满热情,知识渊博,乐于解答各种各样的问题。我通过望远镜看到了木星和它的四颗卫星,还有朦胧的仙女座星系!可惜望远镜数量不够(只有三台),因为后面排着长队,我只能匆匆忙忙地用,其实我可以好好欣赏几分钟!我还觉得他们应该考虑提供观星小屋供大家过夜,因为我参加的活动是晚上 8 点到 11 点,但我很乐意留宿一整晚,独自仰望星空!那晚阴天,所以我没抱太大期望(不过他们说如果一直阴天可以免费再来一次),但奇迹般地,云散了,我们欣赏到了一场精彩绝伦的星座盛宴(他们还贴心地准备了激光指示器,直接指向星座,真是个好主意!)。离开的时候,我告诉他们这是我人生中最棒的夜晚之一,而且我是真心这么觉得!能够亲眼看到这些天象真是太棒了,感谢Gary为我们这些太空迷提供了如此美妙的体验!
