As part of Switch Off Week, join the Environment and Energy Section and the Department of Astronomy for a family friendly guided look at the stars with hot drinks to ward off the chill.

If it's clear weather: we will enjoy guided stargazing outside with a selection of telescopes, followed by a screening of 'Sky at Night' filmed in Cambridge.
If it is cloudy: we will be treated to a talk by Dr Carolin Crawford, followed by a screening of the Cambridge episode of 'Sky at Night'.
