This Friday 11 October at 11am, join Dr Melanie Vandenbrouck as she takes you on a curatorial tour of The Moon.
Melanie is the lead curator of this major exhibition about the Moon and specialises in the collision between art and science.
Visit the brand new Annie Maunder Astrographic Telescope (AMAT) in a free, whistle-stop tour of the facility. A screen next to the instruments will show off either a live view of the Sun or past recorded footage and your guide will give a brief overview the types of astronomy the telescopes can be used for. In good weather, these brief tours will run alongside free solar viewing from Flamsteed Astronomical Society outside with small telescopes.
