Perseids Shooting Stars at the Observatory Science Centre
Saturday 13th August 2022 from 21:30pm to Sunday 14th August 2022 00:30am
The Observatory Science Centre
Herstmonceux, Hailsham, East Sussex, BN27 1RN
Join the Observatory Science Centre team for an informative talk to learn more about this fascinating yearly event. If the weather is good, you will also have the opportunity to view through the historic telescopes. The evening aims to be informal and informative with food on the menu too! However, if the weather is unsuitable, the talk will go ahead regardless. A comprehensive tour of the telescopes will replace viewing, including being able to visit the domes not open to the public during the day.
Please note that this has already taken place on 13/08/2022
