Junior AstronOMy Club
The last Sunday of the month from January 2024 to December 2024
OM Dark Sky Park and Observatory
Davagh Forest, Cookstown, County Tyrone, BT79 8JH
Join the OM Dark Sky Observatory team for a tour through outer space. Take a closer look at our Sun, Moon and all the planets in the solar system, then whizz through the galaxy and find the most unusual (and funniest!) looking objects in the night sky. We’ll also have some crafts activities for you to paint, draw and create your space-themed art. These sessions occur on the last Sunday of each month.
