See the Geminids at Ribblehead

View the spectacular Geminids meteor shower from the excellent dark-sky location of Ribblehead with astronomers from Go Stargazing!

Dozens of shooting stars may be seen when the meteor shower peaks in activity on the night of the 14th of December into the early hours of the following morning. Meteors are also known as shooting stars and come from the dust debris left over from the asteroid 3200 Phaethon. They travel at a lesser speed across the sky compared to other showers, sometimes have a yellow colour to them and look spectacular! The Geminids are arguably the most reliable and best meteor shower of the year!

The Moon will be visible at night and looks awesome through a telescope! You’ll also enjoy a laser-guided tour of the night sky and a short presentation indoors next to the fire! Your ticket will also include a bowl of hotpot to warm you up! Bring comfortable chairs and warm blankets, and don’t forget a hat and a red-light torch!

Why not make the most of your trip to Ribblehead and stay at the Station Inn?
