University of Surrey Telescope
Scholars Walk, Guildford, Surrey, GU2 7TR, South East England

Enjoy an evening of stargazing at the University of Surrey with the welcoming members of the Astrophysics Research Group. These sessions are ideal for beginners and novices interested in astronomy who want to learn more.

Please note that the event starts at Lecture Theatre E with an interesting and informative introduction to the work being carried out by the group and then stargazing using their fabulous telescope.

This event goes ahead no matter the weather; if stargazing is not possible, there will be a tour of what can be seen in the night sky on clearer nights. Booking is required.

Event darkness

The Moon has a big impact on the visibility of celestial bodies in the night sky. Try to plan your stargazing when there is no bright Moon at night as this is when the skies will be at their darkest.

The below chart shows if and when the skies will be at their darkest during this event. Moonlight is shown in light yellow and the Sun's twilight in light blue. Midnight on the date shown is shown as a white line with sunset to the left and sunrise the next morning to the right. A black background with stars shows the best times for stargazing.
