Come along to the Bollington
well-dressing star party ...!
Macclesfield Astronomical Society invite you to Kerridge Cricket Club on Saturday, July 25 from 2100 until Midnight to gaze at the Moon and stars* through telescopes and learn about astronomy.
*Weather permitting. Indoor activities will be provided - limited for space for 70-80 people, standing room only.
What will we be looking at?
If it is clear, we will be able to observe the Moon in great detail, which we guarantee will make you feel like an Apollo astronaut! We will also be showing you some of the brightest showpieces of the sky from double-stars to great clouds on interstellar gas. We really want to encourage you to get involved, so if you have questions about anything astronomical - no matter how simple or complicated - just ask and we'll do our best to give you an enlightened answer ...
What if it's cloudy or raining during the star party?
Don't despair, if the weather does not co-operate during the evening, we'll have lots of different telescopes on display with proud owners ready to answer questions about them. We will also provide presentations throughout the evening (even if the sky is clear) that will reveal the wonders of our Solar System and the Universe beyond. We'll also tell you what to look for in the night sky and how to identify some of the brightest constellations.
Join us for what promises to be a wonderful
evening!
