Keld Resource Centre
Keld, Richmond, North Yorkshire, DL11 6LJ, Yorkshire and The Humber
As part of the National Sky at Night events series, local experts Paul Clark and John Lloyd will introduce you to Swaledale’s legendary dark skies – free from light pollution. We will start with a talk in the Keld Resource Centre, showing you photos of the moon, planets, stars, galaxies, Milky Way and even the Northern Lights. Weather permitting, we will then go outside to observe these remarkable features for ourselves.
Please note that this event has already taken place on 26/03/2022
