Astronomy Evening at Xplore Science Discovery Centre

Xplore! Science Discovery Centre
17 Henblas Street, Wrexham, Clwyd, LL13 8AE
Join the friendly team at the Xplore Science Discover Centre for an evening of astronomy! This time around they will be looking at orbits!
Space is full of things that go around each other, the moon around the earth, the earth around the sun and the sun as it moves around the supermassive black hole in the centre of the galaxy. But why do objects move as they do, what are the different orbits called and what on earth is a Lagrange point.
Join them to explore the world of moving objects!
Please note that this has already taken place on 18/02/2022
