Chasing the Moon planetarium shows with Bath Astronomers
Saturday 1st February 2025 from 13:30pm to 17:00pm
Percy Community Centre
New King Street, Bath, Avon, BA1 2BN
Come stargazing under the night sky as it will appear this National Astronomy Week.
Join us as we chase the Moon across the sky, past three planets and a treasure-trove of stars. Along the way you’ll find your place in the Solar System, discover a nursery of baby stars born in the time of the dinosaurs, and learn how to test the darkness of your night sky. All you need do is look up!
Bath Astronomers are bringing National Astronomy Week and the night sky to communities in and around Bath using the mobile planetarium and computer graphics to transport you and the family into space for a better view of the cosmos and the beautiful objects around us.
Please note that this has already taken place on 01/02/2025
