Stargazing in Blockhouse Park
Saturday 4th October 2025 from 19:00pm to 20:30pm
Blockhouse Park
Masterman Road, Plymouth, Devon, PL2 1BJ, South West England
Join us to talk about if life exists out there in the universe followed by a chance to see the autumn stars and the Moon and Saturn through our telescopes!
We will be able to see the mountains on the Moon and catch sight of Saturns rings.
And maybe a look at some constellations with our laser pointer and a glimpse of a satellite or two!
