About this Event
We've chosen a fabulous date just after New Year to celebrate a sky full of wonder. Jupiter and Mars are looking dazzling and the moon will be low in the west, eventually setting to cast the night sky at its darkest of the year. Plus we'll search for other galaxies and take a magical tour of the great winter constellations of Orion and Taurus. We'll have powerful telescopes and binoculars will be on hand to share the views. And while we can't guarentee a display of Northern Lights if they should occur we are in a fine place to see them.
The Hub provides a warm indoor space for colourful presentations with a purpose built viewing area alongside. If it's cloudy we will still see stars thanks to a brilliant computer based planetarium show.
The North York Moors National Park is an international dark sky reserve with low levels of light pollution. We advise you to wear sensible outdoor footwear and wrap up warm.
Please note the Hub is not part of the main Sutton Bank visitor centre building, but located one hundred metres away at the north west corner of the complex. It has its own car park - just drive through the raised barrier. Look out for the red external lights on the Hub and two flashing red LEDs on the barrier.
I f you prefer to pay by BACs please email me on [email protected] It's a way of saving on the Eventbite booking fee (approx £2.80).
