Brownies 'out of this world' stargazing experience

An 'out of this world' experience was enjoyed by 3rd Old Windsor Brownies on Thursday, January 9.

They visited the BBC Stargazing Live event at Royal Holloway University of London in nearby Englefield Green.

They got to speak via Skype to astronaut Major Timothy Peake and ask him questions.

The brownies also got to pretend to be planets in the solar system, look at the different types of experiments carried out on the moon, and were able to see and touch a real space suit.
