Good afternoon, and I hope this email finds everybody well. I'm back home after some travels last month, with some photos to show you of a couple of cool places.

And I have a new Moon viewing tool for you! Something a little different from things I've made before.

I was in the UK for a few weeks, and during that time was able to visit the cities of Oxford and Bath. Each city has a fabulous museum.

In Oxford, they have the Oxford History of Science Museum. This is three floors of glorious historical scientific instruments; some of which are quite significant.

In Bath, there is the Herschel Museum of Astronomy. You may remember William Herschel was the discoverer of both the planet Uranus, and of Infrared light. He and his sister Caroline made many of their observations from a townhouse in the city, which has now been converted into a wonderful museum.

You can visit these vicariously (and a couple of other places too), through my photos in the links on this page: https://wavytail.com/travel-destinations-for-the-scientifically-curious/ 

How many times have you seen a fabulous Full Moon, but it's SO BRIGHT you can't comfortably look at it?

This sturdy aluminum card has a tiny hole in the middle, which cuts out the glare of a full moon when you hold it up to your eye. It’s then easier to see the surface features without straining against the brightness.

Take it anywhere you go; it’s credit card sized. Pull it out whenever you see a bright Moon! The guide on the back shows you which features you’re looking at, and also marks the Apollo landing sites.

Be prepared for International Observe the Moon Night later this year. And it’s small, affordable and ideal as a gift.
