Mini Stargazers – January (Warwick)
Come along to explore the sky! The talk topic is Space Volcanoes!
There must be one adult with each booking to supervise children while stargazing.
17:30-18:45
Whatever the British weather brings, we are ready to whisk off our miniature sky explorers on a jam-packed space adventure! We’ll have a short space talk, a quiz and stargazing! Plan A is to be outside in the field using telescopes and binoculars to see the Moon, stars and planets. If our plot is foiled by thick cloud cover, we will retreat inside and explore the heavens digitally and do fun, interactive space activities. Each child ticket includes a space goodie bag.
19:00-21:00
Join Dr Sarah Crick and her team for a night of astronomy greatness! You will be treated to an entertaining astronomy talk delivered by Sarah on a hot topic in the space sector then dazzled by the delights in the skies of Leek Wootton through a telescope by Jordan from NOVA Stargazing. If the clouds blow in, you will be treated to a digital tour of the sky, a close up look at some HUGE telescopes and an astronomy quiz with an out-of-this-world prize for the victor!

Now that there are more satellites in space, how do we know that they won’t crash into each other? Space is big, but it’s getting busy! With mega constellations going up and nothing much coming down, do we have a plan to combat space traffic?

Yes, there is parking available onsite.
There are bathroom facilities on site.
Please wrap up warm as we will be standing outside in the middle of winter. Do bring a red torch if you have one. (Can make one by putting red cellophane over a white torch if you are feeling creative.)
Please do not wear bright white head torches or use bright white lights while we are stargazing. It ruins the dark adaptation of everyone's eyes.
The telescopes we use can easily see our moon and solar system planets, as well as deep space objects like galaxies, star clusters, and nebulae.
Yes, the more the merrier.
