On Saturday 25th November the cadets and Officers of Penrith Girls Squadron visited the Penrith Observatory at Western Sydney University for a fascinating talk on the future of space travel and to view the heavens through their telescopes.
The conditions were perfect and the cadets were able to view many sights including the Moon, globular star clusters and a chance to see the planet Pluto!
It was a great evening and we hope to do it again next year!
