How a trip to Lochinvar National Park ignited a passion for astrophotography.
Unlike many parts of the world where city lights and pollution obstruct the view of the stars, in Zambia, just 30 – 40 kilometres outside of major cities, you can witness the full majesty of the night sky.
In this documentary short, Dr Mupanga Mwanakatwe, a passionate and dedicated Zambian astrophotographer, shares his journey into the art of astrophotography.
Today, via his online channel ZedAstro, he shares his expertise, hoping to inspire more Zambians to embrace the enchanting world of astrophotography.

@NgongaEmmanuel "The K20,000 would go towards making an order for spares totalling K42,000 when resold over a period of 5 months."
My reading of that is you will acquire spare parts worth K20,000, which you expect to generate you K42,000 over 5 months at K8000 in revenue per month. Yes?

@LankyObserver With this boost we will definitely get increased sells

@LankyObserver K42,000 is the total value of the goods we will acquire from our supplier. K22,000 is the profit. Sells are are currently averaging K8000 per month.

Why are we celebrating voluntary movement to a culture and people who enslaved us and our people?
Why not celebrate the people building the continent up?
So for this entire month, I will be celebrating Africans building Africa in Africa.

Whenever I start feeling smart for moving divs, buttons, and form inputs around with CSS I see something like this where people are literally out there engineering rocket engines and am reminded I don’t know anything in the grand scheme of things.

What emerged when the MIGHTEE team analysed the early science data on the ilifu research cloud, was no less than 20 previously undetected galaxies. They were able to determine their dynamics, how they move, and how they are bound together.
