Peter's
interest in the planets, galaxies and stars has led him to become
affilliated with the Institute of Astronomy at Cambridge University.
He gets a really good view of the night sky through the telescopes
available at the Institute.

Peter
loves talking about space and finds there is no better audience
than awe-struck children. He regularly gives presentations to schools
and leaves his audience in complete amazement about the wonders
of the galaxy. He soon has them scared silly with stories of comets
headed towards Earth, Black Holes and many more astronomical mind-blowers!
Peter
is an Associate at the new National Space Centre in Leicester, he
is Vice chairman of the Cambridge Astronomical Association and is
a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society! For fifteen years Peter,
with others, has run a Saturday morning group in the city for young
astronomers – his "Astro-babes!"- and tests Brownies and Scouts
for their Astro badges.
Most
important of all, Peter is an enthusiast and inspirational communicator.
He regularly presents items about astronomy on BBC Radio Cambridgeshire
and has presented a series of astronomy items for TV.
Make
sure you take a look at Peter's monthly guide to the night sky.
It not only tells you what to look out for, but is full of amazing
facts about space. Let's
