Introduction to the Wonders of the Night Sky (SOLD OUT)
About
As part of the annual Yorkshire Dales Dark Skies Festival, Paul Neaves with Keighley Astronomical Society, will join us in Gargrave to offer an introduction to the wonders of the night sky.
This two and half hour part theoretical, part practical session will enable participants to learn astronomy and understand the workings of the night sky with a view to identifying the key stars and constellations.
The session will include: using star charts, judging angular distances, creating your own planisphere, concluding with a short guided walk to put it all into practice.
This session is suitable for age 12 and above (12–17-year-olds to be accompanied by an adult).
Please bring your own torch (head torch is preferable), binoculars if you have them (no telescopes please) and warm clothing for the walk.
