Jive Media Africa and the Moses Kotane Institute are excited to bring you the moon!

Using a telescope and camera combination and the image projected on a screen, Dr Vincent Couling, School of Physics UKZN, will take us close to the action as the Earth's shadow creeps across the craters and mountains of the moon. The total lunar eclipse will occur when the entire moon enters the Earth's umbra - the darkest part of its shadow.

This café will start at 6.30pm with Dr Couling's talk of 30-40minutes, followed by a time for questions and discussion. Attendance is free but there will be an honesty box for those who wish to make a donation for the speaker.

RSVP as places are limited. For more information contact Stéphanie at cafsci at jivemedia.co.za or call 033 342 9380 or visit www.jivemedia.co.za

Glühwein and hot chocolate will be available to keep us warm!
