Moon Palace at Ghanaian Independence Day 2024

The Hub was very pleased to be able to support the participation of East Leeds Project's Moon Palace in celebrations for Ghanaian Independence Day 2024 with the Ghanaian Society of Leeds. While the weather didn't quite co-operate for observations, just over 150 visitors learned about Africa's expanding role in space-focused science and engineering.
