Astronight @ The Science Musuem

E, P and myself went for a sleepover at the Science Museum's Astronights!

It was themed around the Sun exhibition (soon to end).

We enjoyed a chance to explore it with the help of an app where we had to answer questions (I would have liked more time to explore it).

Then it was time for a snack before attending a talk on stars.

We then made a UV torch!

Then it was time for bed - well a roll mat on the floor with a sleeping bag. We headed down to the ‘Who Am I?’ exhibit. The room is actually huge so getting a bit of privacy is pretty easy, but if you’re an anxious sleeper – whether you’re worried about snoring, farting or just being surrounded by strangers – getting some shut-eye might be a bit challenging, plus it was quite light throughout the night. We went to 'sleep' about 11.45 and woke up about 6.45 - although I didn't sleep through! We then had breakfast of croissant, a muffin, raisins and a cup of tea before we had time to explore Wonderlab.

We then watched an IMAX film about Earth. That brought Astronights to a close, although you have till 12 to explore more of the museum before you need to collect your bags. We went to the Discovery Motion Theatre: Legend of Apollo which tried to show what it was like on an Apollo space mission to the move with moving seats and 3D glasses!


We then got the train back to Cambridge.
