March 8, 1966 last time we clearly saw the "Sigma 7" FOIS ? Mercury 7 astronaut US Navy aviator Walter "Wally" Schirra and his personal 1961 Omega Speedmaster CK2998-4, 17.650.054, worn during Sigma 7, used for SCUBA diving, bezelless since 1965, last seen on his wrist in 1966. Collage of a bespoke artwork for MoonwatchUniverse, LIFE photos of Schirra diving in his pool and Schirra at a handprint ceremony during the 1966 Gemini World Tour at the NASA Carnarvon tracking station near Perth - Australia. Between 22 February and March 1966, Walter Schirra and Frank Borman visited 8 countries during their 24 days long Far East Gemini Goodwill tour, visiting Australia between March 7 - 12. The Australians had rolled out two plum-colored Rolls-Royce convertibles procured for an earlier visit by Queen Elizabeth II in 1963. At Carnarvon, Schirra rolling up his sleeves clearly showed the bezelless Speedmaster CK2998-4. October 1966 onwards, as Schirra, Stafford and Lovell were awarded a US Navy logo dial Rolex GMT-master 1675 pilot watch, Schirra preferred to wear the Rolex GMT-master, also his Rolex Daytona 6240 and occasionally his Gold Apollo 11 tribute Speedmaster n° 8. Since 1994, MoonwatchUniverse has been working on a dozen "astronaut case studies" using official press & NASA photographs in order to find out when well-known NASA astronauts (Aldrin, Armstrong, Borman, Carpenter, Cernan, Collins, Lovell, Mitchell, Shepard, Schirra, Swigert, White) were introduced to the Omega Speedmaster and perhaps more interesting what they wore before those days during NASA training… (Photos: NASA/LIFE)

The ensemble of the dishes forming South Africa's MeerKAT radio telescope is seen in Carnarvon on July 16, 2016. - Even operating at a quarter of its eventual capacity, South Africa's MeerKAT radio telescope showed off its phenomenal power on July 16, revealing 1,300 galaxies in a tiny corner of the universe where only 70 were known before. The image released Saturday was the first from MeerKAT, where 16 dishes were formally commissioned the same day. (Photo by MUJAHID SAFODIEN / AFP)

100 years in November 2022 since the 1922 discovery of King Tut's tomb.

"On November 26, 1922, Carter and Lord Carnarvon entered the tomb, where they found an immense collection of gold and treasures. On February 16, 1923, Carter opened the innermost chamber and found the sarcophagus of King Tut.

Carter died in London on March 2, 1939, of lymphoma. He was buried in Putney Vale Cemetery in London.

Attention: has anyone seen the girl with birch leaves in her hair and heelie shoes? On my first day, she gave me an acorn from the campus oak, hollowed and sealed shut with a cap of beeswax, promising I would need it. Curiosity got the best of me: I opened it, and now the squirrels watch with chattering teeth. When I sleep, I dream of black button eyes in the darkness, and the sound of hundreds of tiny claws scratching against wooden floors. Please hurry, they're getting closer every night

I think she’s in Carnarvon 307 - I always hear her complaining about how the shag carpeting renders the heelies useless.

Don’t mean to have a sudden upload of pictures to my blog, just that due to work commitments tends to restrict my time infront of the computer to update my site. This shot was taken whilst wondering around the streets of Wales.
