AstronOMy Club

Join us for our monthly astronomy Club at OM, open to all abilities and interests.

This is a sociable evening session with our resident astronomer discussing what is currently visible in the night sky.

May Astronomy Club

With the long days coming to a peak and the nights super short, what can you see this time of year? This month’s Astronomy Club will talk you through the summer night sky – when we get a glimpse of the best Milky Way views and rare summer stars and constellations. The night sky might appear less during this time of the year, but it’s a fantastic time to start learning with warm summer evenings and less clouds in the way.

This event is open to all ages and abilities and designed to be a relaxed, sociable evening for all levels of interest.

June Astronomy Club

With the Summer Solstice reached in mid-June, we’ll be using this month’s AstronOMy Club to talk all things alignments. How are ancient sites like Stonehenge and Beaghmore “aligned” to objects in the sky, why was this done and how did ancient cultures navigate time? We’ll be talking about this as well as what’s coming up in the sky over the summer months and showing how you can make your own solstice alignments at home!  

This event is open to all ages and abilities and designed to be a relaxed, sociable evening for all levels of interest.
