Winter Stargazing, Meteors and Shooting Stars

What is a shooting star? Is there a difference between a meteor, a comet or an asteroid? Where do they all come from? Stow stargazers will share their perspective during this informative evening, talking about these so-called Near Earth Objects in the skies.

The evening will culminate in an exclusive guided walk through the reserve with a chance to view the full moon (weather permitting). The event will take place regardless of the weather and night sky conditions, and is a chance to enjoy this wonderful urban nature reserve after hours.

It’s not essential but feel free to bring binoculars and a red-light torch. Wrap up warm for your exclusive evening tour. All profits from this event are invested into London Wildlife Trust’s conservation and education work and the care of its nature reserves.

The content of this event is suitable to people aged 15 and over, but people under 18 must hold a ticket and be accompanied by a responsible adult during the event.

Stowstargazers brings people together to enjoy nature whilst experiencing the night sky. We have a passion for sharing knowledge and advice on all aspects of stargazing, learning together what is on show and giving tips for how to view the celestial sights. Michael of Stowstargazers has been an avid hobby astronomer ever since being captivated by the milky way as a child.
