Flinty Fell  had a visit from Professor K Walsh today who is an Astronomer-in-Residence at Westminster School in London.
He came to talk to us about the Universe and the planets, he answered all the questions the pupils had for him and really helped to deepen everyone's understanding. Thankyou for your time Professor Walsh
