Our Changing Skies. A talk followed by Stargazing
Friday 18th November 2022 from 18:00pm to 20:00pm
Wellow Village Hall
Wellow, Bath, Avon, BA2 8QA
Have you ever wondered about the twinkling diamonds above our heads each night and how the sky seems so still and calm?
This combined talk and stargazing (if weather permits) will explore how the night sky changes and how you get see these events for yourself.
Intended as a family-friendly talk, it will be followed by a hop outside to look through telescopes (subject to weather) and a sky tour.
There is no fee to attend. Doors open at 5:45 pm for a 6:00 pm start. The talk is 45 minutes in duration.
