Join the team from the Glasgow Science Centre as we celebrate National Astronomy Week (1st-9th February). See how the sky will appear over the coming week, chase the Moon across the sky past three planets and a veritable treasure-trove of stars. We’ll spot a nursery of baby stars born during the age of the dinosaurs, explore our place in the solar system, and test the darkness of our night sky. All you need to do is look up!

Please note that this has already taken place on 01/02/2025

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.
