Well, big news. I am planning to move the Space Library to a new home. And I need some help - in 35 years I've never asked for funding or subscriptions for my Space Report, to keep it independent, but now I need to raise additional funds. gofundme.com/f/fund-jonatha…

Op zondag 22 december geven we rondleidingen in de radiotelescoop! Reserveer een plekje via camras.nl en kom overdag sterrenkijken. Bijvoorbeeld een pulsar of een quasar. Extra leuk in de winter: het centrum van de Melkweg is overdag waar te nemen.
