Observing Session for Junior Astronomers

About

Young astronomers interested in learning about space and the planets are welcome to join our Kids Observing Session.

Using a range of child-friendly telescopes we can show you how to find planets in the sky and how to use a telescope. We're hoping to get a peek at the planet Saturn, as well as the Moon. Children will get hands-on experience learning how telescopes work and what to observe in our Solar System.

Event designed for primary school age but all welcome and dress warm.
