Astronomy
We meet Monthly on the Last Thursday of the month from 13:30 - 15:30.
The group meets at Burton Manor Social Club.
Thursday afternoon is not a very good time for star-gazing! However we discuss what is likely to be seen in the night and early morning sky in the following month, such as planets, constellations, meteor showers and any general astronomy/space news.
A few members do have binoculars and telescopes, so during the month, if the weather forecast predicts clear skies at night-time, we sometimes arrange to get together for a star-watching session - usually at a member's home. We have also arranged trips to Keele Observatory to use their telescopes.
Members are learning together and from each other.
Star charts and monthly notes are sent out to all members of the group.
