Our special visitor 'Manny'- a NASA pilot!

Today we had a very special visit from a NASA Pilot called Manny. He is based in Christchurch at the moment. He is flying a plane called 'Sofia' that has a large telescope in the back. He works with a team of scientist and they take photos using the telescope of stars and planets. They fly at night so that they can see the stars. They are based in New Zealand at the moment because it is dark for longer and we have colder nights. Manny was very interesting to listen to and he answered lots of our questions.
