Astronomers aged 7 to 11 will love these Saturday morning sessions in the Hoyle Building at the Institute of Astronomy, Madingley Road, Cambridge.

A theme is given to each meeting, for example, galaxies, ancient astronomy, peculiar stars, death of dinosaurs. The aim is to make astronomy fun!

Meetings also include a short film in the lecture theatre and an activity session and run from 10.00 am - 12.00 am on the last Saturday of every month.

Beginners and younger astronomers aged 11 and over will enjoy the Cambridge AstroPlus group meetings, which include short talks by members of the Cambridge Astronomical Association and, weather permitting, observing using the Institute of Astronomy telescopes. These informal sessions take place on the first Monday of each month (sometimes delayed in January due to the New Year).

Take your knowledge to another level with this excellent value 6-week course with the friendly members of the Cambridge Astronomical Association. The course runs on Wednesday evenings and costs only £15.
