It has been officially announced that the popular BBC Stargazing Live TV show will be on our screens once again on the 28th, 29th and 30th March 2017. This year the team will be broadcasting live from Australia.
To coincide with the television program there are a number of stargazing events held across the whole of the UK. Numerous Astronomical Societies and Observatories open their doors to the public. National Parks and local councils arrange special events. There are lots of opportunities to get outside in the great outdoors and go stargazing. It’s a fantastic experience to be under dark skies looking through telescopes whilst learning about the Universe we live in.
What is Go Stargazing?
Go Stargazing helps people find stargazing events all year round. Our ambition is to promote Astronomy to as wide as audience as possible. We help amateur astronomers, astronomical societies and observatories raise awareness of themselves and the great things they do. You can find stargazing events taking place near you any time using our events map or calendar.
