Science Engagement

The Travelling Telescope is a social enterprise dedicated to promoting science, technology and sustainability through astronomy and space endeavours. We run a biweekly quiz for anyone across the planet to join in, test their astronomy knowledge, test their music knowledge, and learn a little from our esteemed guests who give a short presentation in a particular field of astronomy.

The Travelling Telescope

I began my interest in astronomy around age 12 after my dad built me a bedroom in our attic – I would place my bed right under the window and watch the stars and Moon change through the night, weeks and months. Later in life I had a bad illness, and while recovering at my mothers’ in rural Dorset I bought a cheap telescope to occupy my mind and keep busy – I never looked back! I now run a company with my wife in Kenya sharing the wonders of the Universe with anyone who’l listen.
