Thank you to our speakers, weekly delegates and to everyone who took part in Scilly Dark Skies Week (in person or online), for making it such a huge success. Yesterday, we opened the solar can that has been on the roof of the warm room for the past year tracking the sun.
Thank you so much for being part of our week and for helping to make it such a success. We shall very much look forward to welcoming you back soon.
Had a wonderfully relaxing time on StMartins @visitIOS @COSMOSScilly enjoying the beauty of the Scilly islands and the company of those enjoying and organising the event. Sorry to be missing the last few days. Hope to return

Worth looking out for tonight.
This evening is a good time to spot the famous Lunar X and Lunar V on the Moon.
The effects will be formed around 19:20 BST when the Moon is just to the west of south in the daytime sky.

Cruthers Hill has three entrance graves on it. All positioned with commanding views over the Islands, this is the better preserved one. Picture taken earlier this year on a balmy October day, hence @JamieAshle in shorts. 🩳 #megalithic #tombtuesday #IslesofScilly
