🌕✨ A Magical Day at Stonehenge! ✨🌕

We had an unforgettable time today visiting Stonehenge! 🪨🌿 Not only did we explore the iconic ancient stones, but we also dove into the fascinating connection between Stonehenge and the Moon at the "Moons and Megaliths" event happening from now until November 3rd! 🌖🔭

We learned that while Stonehenge is known for its sun alignments, it was also designed to align with the movements of the moon, especially during the Major Lunar Standstill—an incredible event that's approaching in 2024! 🌕✨ It’s amazing to think that the builders of Stonehenge may have been tracking this celestial phenomenon thousands of years ago.

Highlights of the day:

• Visiting the pop-up planetarium and exploring the night sky over Stonehenge with expert astronomers! 🪐🌠

• Walking around a foam replica of Stonehenge and learning about how the site was used to observe key lunar moments like solstices and lunar standstills!

• A fascinating exhibition at the visitor center focused on the Moon's influence on this legendary site 🌙🔍
