This programme is run in collaboration with the New Crescent Society.

Our Astronomy and Islam shows are held before the predicted sighting of the next New Crescent Moon. A Royal Observatory Greenwich astronomer will guide you through the stars in a special planetarium show followed by a short presentation from the New Crescent Society, a Muslim community-led astronomy organisation. Free entry to the Historic Royal Observatory Site is included with this show.

There are a few variations of this show, each focusing on slightly different aspects.

SOLD OUT Saturday 9 December: The Sun

10:30am | Royal Observatory Greenwich

This show is about the connection between Islam and our closest star. It explores how the Sun’s position relates to both the times and direction of prayer.

Recommended ages 11+. No under 5s.

This show is now sold out - more dates coming soon!
