Astronauts of Derry gathered at the Bay Road today to break the world record for the biggest number of astronauts in one place.

716 astronauts took part in the event, including hosts Adam B, Mark the Science Guy and Aoife Doherty, owner of Sass & Halo. The record attempt was part of Our Place in Space, a sculpture trail that shows the wonders of space.
