"The constellation Scorpius the Scorpion is a favourite but unfortunately never rises high above our southern horizon at the Jodrell Plank Observatory. Pip Stakkert captured this image from an upper floor window of the Observatory Visitor Centre. Our sponsors George and Anita Roberts have spoken of the wonders of seeing this constellation at much higher declination from the dark suburbs of Christchurch New Zealand" - Kurt Thrust current Director of the Jodrell Plank Observatory.
