The Creepy Cosmos at Lime Tree Observatory

The Creepy Cosmos at Lime Tree Observatory

Saturday 26th October 2024 from 18:00pm to 20:00pm

Lime Tree Observatory and Planetarium
Lime Tree Farm, Grewelthorpe, North Yorkshire, HG4 3DA

Join the astronomers from Lime Tree Observatory and Planetarium for a spooky and magical journey through the cosmos!

Guided by your Driver Isambard, Professor LaGrange and his miserable Goblin assistant Moonlugs, you will travel to a creepy castle to learn about the heavens, and the halloween-themed real-life astronomical objects that are out there in space.

This family is a family show and not in anyway scary, and suitable for aged 5 and upwards. Halloween costumes are not essential, but are encouraged!

The show lasts about an hour, after which there will be telescope observing time outside, if the weather is good or further planetarium fun if the weather is poor.

Please note that this has already taken place on 26/10/2024

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.
