Astronomy, Institute of
A half-hour public talk about some aspect of Astronomy will start promptly at 7.15pm in our lecture theatre. This is followed by an opportunity to look through the historical Northumberland and Thorrowgood telescopes if (and only if!) the weather is clear.
Members of the Cambridge Astronomical Association also set up modern telescopes on the observatory lawns, with video projection facility and commentary.
We can't always guarantee observing, of course, as it is very weather-dependent. The talk will always take place, and on a cloudy evening will be followed by a tea break and some short entertainment from the CAA.
Cost: free
