One year of Dark Sky newsletters!
I was checking out our first Newsletter, to make sure I don’t repeat any information about what can be seen in the sky at this time of the year.
Our first Newsletter talked about our first project…BATS!
We are pleased to bring you the results of the ongoing survey we have been doing around Glenorchy. This town is full of Long Tailed bats. We’re still searching for short tailed bats, and haven’t lost hope that we will find them. Check out the image in the newsletter to find out where we get the most bats.
In case you are wondering why so many have been recorded near the pines at the golf course, this is probably a roosting spot and it is likely that many bats are being recorded several times as they come and go from the roost.
Also
This month we’re looking at the planet Neptune. In mythology Neptune (Poseidon) is the God of the ocean. This planet is also an ice giant, and is the 8th and final recognised planet in our solar system. (We’ll talk about Pluto next month)
