See marvellous Mars at Bore Place
Thursday 8th December 2022 from 18:30pm to 20:30pm
Bore Place Country House and Outdoor Education Centre
Chiddingstone, Edenbridge, Kent, TN8 7AR, South East
Every other year, Mars comes closest to the Earth; luckily for us, December 2022 is that time! The Edenbridge and District Astronomers will be here with their telescopes to show you, Mars, at its most significant and brightest. We will also be looking out for Saturn, Jupiter and the Moon.
If we can’t be outside due to the weather, there will be illustrated indoor talks about Mars.
Please note that this has already taken place on 08/12/2022
