Heavens Above !


The Sky at Night


The Centre for Life in Newcastle is taking an unusual look at people who stare deep into space to try to understand the mysteries of the Universe.
It is hosting an exhibition, first launched at the Royal Albert Hall, by professional photographer and amateur stargazer Max Alexander - who conceptualises the astronomers' work in a series of striking images.

  1. Hi Darren,
    The photo of Newtons apple tree reminded me of the walled garden at the National Physics Lab. They have a walled garden with Newtons apple tree in the middle of it. They know its the original, as they destroy all the fruit every year to maintain it as the original. A posh school up north also have Newtons original apple tree, as does Cambridge University, oh and the Botanical gardens, and of course Sainsburys. Which was also the same place that Eve bought one as a present for a friend.
