We are spending a night on the Moon and will use powerful telescopes to reveal mountain ranges, craters and lava flows! On this night our nearest neighbour parks itself next door to Mars in the sky making a magical conjunction. We'll show you how to take pictures of the Moon for yourself with your smartphone like the one above. Remember we supply all the equipment needed to admire the heavens, including astro binoculars.
To make this event truly accessible we've reduced ticket prices. We want you to enjoy the stars without it costing the earth.
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.
If you prefer to pay by BACs please email me on richard@richarddarn.com It's a way of saving on the Eventbite booking fee (approx £2.80).
