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.

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.
