Curious about how the Universe started and where our star and planet came from? Meet the friendly astronomers from the Abergavenny Astronomy Society and Usk Astronomy Group and find out more!
How about the Milky Way, the Zodiac, other stars, exo-planets, ESA & NASA space missions, or additional space or cosmos-related questions? Our enthusiastic members will attempt to give answers (if possible).
View our star, the Sun, through a solar telescope (weather permitting!).
As well as displays and presentations, there will be planetarium shows hosted by the Usk Astronomical Society.
Free Entrance with a fee of £1 for the planetarium shows.
