Group Stargazing in the Brecon Beacons with Dark Sky Wales
Tuesday 10th November 2020 from 20:00pm to 22:00pm
Brecon - Libanus Mountain Centre
Libanus, Brecon, Powys, LD3 8ER, Wales
A unique opportunity for you to be part of a group of like minded individuals enjoying the dark skies of Wales. On the evening you will be accompanied by two astronomers who will guide you around the night sky from constellations to nebulae, learning the mythology and science of astronomy. No experience needed just an enthusiasm to learn more about the night sky! All astronomical equipment is provided but please wrap up warm as the mountain can become very cold.
