Stargazing at Sutton Bank with Richard Darn
Saturday 30th November 2024 from 19:30pm to 22:00pm
Sutton Bank Star Hub
Sutton Bank National Park Centre, Thirsk, North Yorkshire, YO7 2EX
Starry skies with the Milky Way etched into the heavens! It’s time to strap in and take a voyage through the cosmos. If you’ve never seen the Milky Way tonight is the perfect time to break your duck with the river of light directly ovehead. Plus we’ll search for other galaxies and take a magical trip to view star clusters. The planets alos remain brilliantly placed for observaton with Jupiter super bright and offering plenty of detail through our telescopes. And while we can’t guarentee a display of Northern Lights, they have been seen a few times this year at the Hub.
Please note that this has already taken place on 30/11/2024
