Visit Walthamstow Wetlands for a talk from Michael Lomotey of Stowstargazers who will reflect on diversity, ethnicity and inclusion in stargazing and astronomy.

The evening will also feature an exclusive guided walk through the wetlands to view the night sky. In preparation for the tour, Michael will share some tips and tactics on urban stargazing.

Stow Stargazers brings people together to enjoy nature whilst experiencing the night sky. We have a passion for sharing knowledge and advice on all aspects of stargazing, learning together what is on show and giving tips for how to view the celestial sights.

Event darkness

The Moon has a big impact on the visibility of celestial bodies in the night sky. Try to plan your stargazing when there is no bright Moon at night as this is when the skies will be at their darkest.

The below chart shows if and when the skies will be at their darkest during this event. Moonlight is shown in light yellow and the Sun's twilight in light blue. Midnight on the date shown is shown as a white line with sunset to the left and sunrise the next morning to the right. A black background with stars shows the best times for stargazing.
