Seething Observatory
Toad Lane, Thwaite, Suffolk, NR35 2EQ
The Norwich Astronomical Society will be supporting the 100 Hours Under One Sky event scheduled for 2nd to 5th October 2024 organised by the International Astronomy Union.
The Seething Observatory will be open from 6:00 pm till 10:00 pm free of charge.
We will be demonstrating the 100 hours challenges. If the skies are clear and dark, we will point out the challenges in the night sky. If we have enough volunteers we will open the domes up for visitors to visit and see through (assuming clear skies). We will aim to have the cabin open for refreshments (not free of charge). The challenges are aimed for ages between 5 and 12, but anyone can take part.
Please note that this has already taken place on 04/10/2024
