Kernow Astronomers will be holding a public event at Pentireglaze National Trust. The team will set up displays around 2 pm, and members will be on hand to answer questions and give advice. If the weather plays ball, they will set up solar telescopes to enable detailed views of the Sun. Then around sunset, regular telescopes will allow observation of the Moon, planets and other celestial objects. Everyone is welcome!
