Go Stargazing at Sutton Bank - Geminds meteor shower

Join astronomer Richard Darn at the Sutton Bank Star Hub for this special stargazing event.

A real highlight of the stargazing year with shooting stars peppering the night sky. These are the Geminids - caused by debris from an asteroid called 3200 Phaethon burning up in the Earth's atmosphere.

They are the undisputed King of the Meteor Shower season and are very reliable. What is more, the moon will be absent, setting a dark stage for shooting stars to weave their magic.

Plus, we'll take you on a magical journey through the iconic skies of December, with Jupiter amongst the other highlights.

This event is being staged in collaboration with Go Stargazing. We are committed to making stargazing accessible and affordable - viewing the heavens shouldn't cost the Earth.
