SUMMARY:Cosmic Cumbria Astrophotography Exhibition launch
DESCRIPTION:Featuring the Cosmic Cumbria Astrophotography Exhibition launch\, film premiere of Cumbria Night Skies and a talk by Professor Roger William Lewis Jones. This has been programmed to coincide with Cumbria Dark Skies Festival and the tenth North Pennines Stargazing Festival. \nThe evening\, organised by Eden Valley and Penrith Astronomy Group\, will begin with the official opening of Cosmic Cumbria\, an interactive Astrophotography Exhibition which will take you on a cosmic journey from Earth through our Solar System to the outer reaches of the Milky Way and beyond to other galaxies far\, far away. \nThe Exhibition includes photography from Penrith and District Camera Club\, Cockermouth Astronomical Society\, Eddington Astronomical Society (Kendal) and Furness and South Lakeland Astronomical Society. This exhibition has been made possible with the support of Cumbrian Stone\, Lakes and Dales Co-op and the former Penrith Lottery. \nThis will be followed by the first public film screening of the Cumbria night skies – a spectacular walk-through space captured by local astronomers featured in the exhibition. \nAfter a short interval\, uncover the Secrets of the Universe in a talk by Professor Roger William Lewis Jones\, Principal Investigator of the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (UK) project and Head of Physics at Lancaster University. Roger will provide an inspiring perspective into one of his projects – the Vera C Rubin observatory in Chile. With an 8.4 metre telescope\, the world’s largest digital astronomical camera\, will be repeatedly scanning the sky in exquisite detail for the next 10 years\, allowing studies from dark matter through galaxy evolution to asteroids and ‘Earth grazers’. Even with its early data\, there has been some stunning results. Roger will explain what is it that leads a particle physicist like himself to have an important role in this project. \nBooking \nVisit https://www.ticketsource.com/rheged/cosmic-cumbria-evening-talk-film-ampexhibition-launch-talk/e-oldgyk for more information and to book.\nSuitable for ages 11+\nTicket prices – £12.70 (adult); £10.70 (Concessions – 60+)\nNo dogs allowed \n2hr 20m including interval \nImage: Andromeda Galaxy (c) Tony Connor/Eden Valley and Penrith Astronomy Group \nThis event is part of the North Pennines Stargazing Festival running from 16 October to 1 November 2026 – www.NorthPenninesStarFest.org.uk #NorthPennStarFest26 #NPennDarkSkies
