Moon Madness

On Thursday night our society ASAW (Astronomical Society of Albury Wodonga) held a public viewing night called "Moon Madness".

Over the Thursday night shopping evening, it ended up being very successful with quite a large number of people taking advantage of a view of Ol' Lunar.
With one child making the comment, "It would be really awesome if it was really, real".

Yep, we know it's not 'really real!'

It's 'artificially real'.
