The Guide to The Heavens at Lime Tree
Friday 21st February 2025 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 for “A Guide to the Heavens”, a family-friendly tour through the Solar System and beyond. We’ll be visiting the planets, moons, and heading out into the depths of our galaxy.

This presentation will make up about half of the evening, and if the weather permits, we’ll spend the rest of the time outside with the telescopes, viewing the night sky, so wrap up warm. If the weather is not kind to us, we’ll continue inside the planetarium.
This event takes place during the 10th anniversary Yorkshire Dales Dark Skies Festival.
