About
Explore our beautiful natural satellite, the Moon. This most majestic night sky object is often overlooked, yet is free to view for all of us. Through a history of observation and exploration, learn some surprising facts and map the Moon for yourself. This ‘How? Why? When?’ session on the Moon will see you leave knowing exactly what you’re looking at and hopefully foster a greater appreciation for our neighbouring rock.
Professional Astronomer Dr Nick Lister has taught astronomy, to all ages and levels, for over thirty years. He is a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society and is passionate about ‘getting people involved’ in this wonderful science.
