Is Anybody Out There? Love, stars and a travelling telescope

Available for over a year

Susan Murabana's life was transformed when, aged 22, she looked through a telescope for the first time. She was struck by the way it connected her to the cosmos and changed her perspective on the world. Susan made it her mission to share this experience with others and later organised a trip to northern Kenya’s Lake Turkana to see a solar eclipse. A man called Daniel ‘Chu’ Owen asked if he could document her and the trip – and as the moon slipped in front of the sun, they fell in love. The couple decided to launch a travelling telescope project together to bring the stars closer to Kenyans.
