Arrive at Carnewas before sunset for an evening of astronomy with Kernow Astronomers, hosted by the National Trust. Weather permitting, you’ll begin by safely observing the Sun through specially equipped telescopes before watching it disappear below the horizon.
As darkness falls, attention will turn to the night sky, with opportunities to observe the Moon, stars, planets and other celestial objects through telescopes. Please check for weather updates closer to the event, as observing is dependent on suitable conditions.
