The point is to discover them.

Sad news today, it looks as though the Swansea Marina Towers Observatory is going to close, the last chance to look through Wales' largest telescope is the 30th of this month. If you live in Swansea (or near) and you haven't had a chance to look through the Towers Telescope (or especially if you have never looked through a telescope) please do not miss this opportunity. It is a chance to discover the truth yourself, actually see the real planets with your own eyes instead of on a TV or computer screen.

If you feel as I do that losing the observatory is unacceptable then please www.writetothem.com (I already have!) and feel free to follow @SwanAstro or keep an eye on www.swanastro.org.uk to keep up to date on the latest news on this topic.
