The debris left behind by the comet Thatcher gives rise to the April Lyrids meteor shower, which peaks on the evening of 22 April! Join us for an informative talk and some meteor (shooting stars) spotting. If the weather is good, you will also have an opportunity to look through the historic telescopes, some of the largest working telescopes in the country.
