On 27 June, Crucible Lusaka was privileged to welcome renowned astrophotographer Dr Mupanga Mwanakatwe. His talk revealed not only the science behind capturing the cosmos, but also the wonder of seeing the universe with new eyes.

Exploring the cosmos from Zambia’s skies
From the delicate brilliance of the Seven Sisters (Pleiades) to the vast Andromeda Galaxy, his images inspired awe and reminded us of Zambia’s rich night skies.
For students and staff alike, it was a memorable evening that blended science, art, and inspiration.

Events like these show how science and wonder come together to spark curiosity and ambition in our community.
