This addition means that even on a cloudy night, visitors will be able to take in some radio observations, and for schools and universities they will have a new resource to help with research into aspects of space.
We also bring you a full round of of the things to watch out for in the night sky over the final part of 2021.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
