Join Astronomer Steven Gray from Cosmos Planetarium for this afternoon of solar observing on Calton Hill. Using specially designed telescopes, we will be able to take a closer look at our closest star — the sun! We should also be able to observe the moon in daytime on this date.
Steven will be on hand to answer all your astronomy and space related questions and to teach us more about our solar system and the 4.5 billion-year-old yellow dwarf star at its centre. We will also have a short tour of the museum and enjoy a packed lunch together afterwards.
Please note that it is a steep climb up to the top of Calton Hill. If the weather is poor we will make alternative arrangements for a talk at St Margaret’s House.
