West End Primary pupil speaks to astronaut in space

West End Primary pupil Rayaan Davids, 13, received the opportunity of a lifetime recently when he got to pose questions to an astronaut in space during the 32nd International Astronomical Union General Assembly 2024, held in Cape Town earlier this month.
Astronomers from around the globe gather every three years at the assembly to further research, delve into challenges in astronomy, and cultivate collaboration. It was the first time in its over 100-year history that the assembly was held in Africa.
