Halle Orchestra at Jodrell Bank

Great to see & hear the Halle last night performing an evening of space-themed music with the Lovell Telescope as projection backdrop on what would have been Sir Bernard's 100th birthday. A lovely touch was projecting his life story onto the dish. Here's the fireworks finale to the Star Wars theme -

Decent weather for once and some good science stalls to inspire the kids - maybe a few more astronomers in the making

Did you try the whispering dishes while you were there ?

Yes, the kids enjoyed that, but not as much as making impact craters by chucking balls into trays of flour or learning about brittle fracture of materials by impact testing Kit Kats and Wispas then getting to eat the test pieces
