Closure threatened Mills Observatory secures five-figure funding - a hefty donation from my husband's company, a space technology research company spun off from the University of Dundee. https://www.thecourier.co.uk/fp/news/dundee/5017390/mills-observatory-secures-funding/ #Dundee #Tayside #Space #Scotland #Astronomy #MillsObservatory #PublicScience #Outreach #Observatories #Science #STARDundee #DundeeUniversity #DundeeUni

And here's the public consultation re closure of the Mills Observatory from the council, a consultation which is only running for a few weeks. And can be completed by anyone, not just those living inside Dundee City Council boundaries. https://www.dundeecity.gov.uk/consultations-and-surveys/mills-observatory-consultation #Astronomy #Space #Dundee #Scotland #MillsObservatory #PublicScience #Outreach #Culture

Browsing comments on save the Mills Observatory petition I noticed this gem. Exactly why the observatory must be saved. I'll also link to Dundee City Council public consultation which is also vital to complete. Open to anyone, not just folk inside Dundee council area. https://www.change.org/p/mills-observatory-closure/c/850374430 #Astronomy #Space #Dundee #Scotland #MillsObservatory #PublicScience #Outreach #Culture

Mills Observatory was where I saw Halley's Comet in 1986 and saw a moon rock on loan.

I just submitted a, rather impassioned, response to the survey https://www.dundeecity.gov.uk/consultations-and-surveys/mills-observatory-consultation for saving #MillsObservatory in #Dundee

Built in 1935 as a gift to the city, it was intended for education and outreach. It was unique as being the only public observatory in Britain. I know there's loads of astronomers on Mastodon. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
