This special stargazing event celebrates the planet Saturn as it reaches opposition, its closest and brightest appearance in our night sky. Using high-quality telescopes, you’ll enjoy breathtaking views of Saturn and its fascinating moons. We’ll also explore the changing appearance of Saturn’s rings, including how their angle and visibility shift over time.

Moonwatch evenings are specifically aimed at showcasing the moon using our powerful telescopes, and weather permitting, we also do some stargazing. Our expert team will explain some of the key features of the moon to look for and give you pointers on how to use binoculars to discover hidden lunar gems.  You'll learn how to spot:

The highlands and seas,
Wrinkle ridges and lunar Rilles,
Craters and volcanoes
Apollo lunar landing sites.
if observing conditions allow, you'll be able to take pictures of the moon through our telescopes with your smartphone - to share on social media with friends and family!
Get ready to explore!

Using our powerful 14” telescope, Dobsonians and binoculars, we'll show you spectacular nebulae, star clusters, galaxies, planets, and any visible comets, weather permitting.  We'll also guide you with practical advice on finding dark skies and planning your own stargazing nights. Finally, we'll introduce you to helpful astronomy apps, some simple stargazing top tips, and the fascinating science of the universe. Our events are designed to put you in control of your journey, on the night and beyond.

The observatory's warm room offers a cozy and relaxed introduction to the dark, starry skies of Northumberland, with free hot drinks. It's the best, most comfortable way to begin your stargazing journey.

The evening will be adapted to feature any unexpected Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) displays. Your visit also includes the chance to handle our extensive museum quality meteorite collection, featuring pieces of asteroids, the Moon, and Mars.

Observing the skies is weather dependent, but all events go ahead regardless, with hands-on, fun and interesting activities.
