SUMMARY:Dark Sky Astronomy and Stargazing at Grassholme Observatory
DESCRIPTION:Dark Sky Astronomy and Stargazing at Grassholme Observatory  \nThe event will begin with a welcome from lead astronomer\, Gary Fildes – an experienced science communicator and astronomer. After the welcome\, Gary and the team will\nescort you into the new state of the art classroom with high definition (HD) projection system. Gary will take you on a whistle stop tour of the Universe. \nAfterwards you will split into groups and\, weather depending\, start observing the sky. With no Moon in the sky\, you will look out for the stunning Milky Way\, which is high\noverhead\, and the planets Saturn\, Mars and Jupiter. We will then use our robotic telescope to scour the skies for other jewels in the cosmos. \nThen it’s back into the classroom for a hot drink and questions. Bring warm clothes – it can get chilly when we are outside. \nBook at Grassholme Observatory website. \nThis event is part of the North Pennines Stargazing Festival running from 21 to 30 October 2022 – www.NorthPenninesStarFest.org.uk #NorthPennStarFest22\n#NPennDarkSkies

SUMMARY:Searching for life and habitable worlds in the universe
DESCRIPTION:A special event at Grassholme Observatory being led by Prof Wallace Arthur \nEvolutionary biologist and Author. Prof Wallace Arthur has dedicated his professional life to all things evolutionary and is the author of many science books – his most recent being The Biological Universe: Life in the Milky Way and beyond – published in 2020. Wallace is also a very keen astronomer – a natural progression therefore would be to consider and research the existence of extraterrestrial life elsewhere in the universe. It has to be the oldest and most profound unanswered questions. So what is the science behind all of this? And how close are we to answering that question. Come along and let Wallace begin to untangle the answers. After the talk\, you will then venture outside to actually observe stars that have known worlds orbiting them\, some of which will be Earth-like. As well as that you’ll look into the inky black moonless skies to see the Milky Way starfields and deep-sky island universes containing billions of suns. \nThis event is part of the North Pennines Stargazing Festival running from 22-31 October 2021 – www.NorthPenninesStarFest.org.uk #NorthPennStarFest21 #NPennDarkSkies

SUMMARY:Dark sky astronomy at Grassholme Observatory: session 2
DESCRIPTION:This event promises to be a spectacular evening of astronomy. With no Moon in the sky\, it is the perfect time to look out for the stunning Milky Way\, which is high overhead\, and the planets Saturn\, Mars and Jupiter. Attendees can then use the robotic telescope to scour the skies for even more jewels of the cosmos. Then it’s back into the new\, state-of-the-art classroom for a hot drink\, more astronomy photography questions\, and boundless knowledge and inspiration. \nPre booking is essential: book via https://www.grassholmeobservatory.com/book/.  Tickets cost £20 (adult); £17 (concession) \nThis event is part of the North Pennines Stargazing Festival running from 22-31 October 2021 – www.NorthPenninesStarFest.org.uk #NorthPennStarFest21 #NPennDarkSkies \n

SUMMARY:Family astronomy at Grassholme Observatory: session 2
DESCRIPTION:During the North Pennines Stargazing Festival why not have a family adventure into space\, and introduce the kids to astronomy and science during half term? Grassholme Observatory is holding interactive talks in the classroom\, allowing children to see and touch rocks from space. Weather permitting you can head outside for some stargazing through telescopes. Hot chocolate and radiators are there if needed too. A wonderful introduction to family astronomy under the dark skies of the North Pennines AONB at Grassholme. \nPre-booking is essential via https://www.grassholmeobservatory.com/book/ \nCost: £13 (adult) ; £10 (child) ; £12 (concessions); Family (£40) \nThis event is part of the North Pennines Stargazing Festival running from 22-31 October 2021 – www.NorthPenninesStarFest.org.uk #NorthPennStarFest21 #NPennDarkSkies

SUMMARY:Aurora nights at Grassholme Observatory: session 2
DESCRIPTION:Expert tuition from the Grassholme Observatory team of astronomers\, as they take you on a journey centred around the Aurora Borealis. On certain nights throughout the year\, you may even see the Aurora Borealis from Grassholme. It’s visible in the North Pennine skies\, but the conditions have to be right to see them and those conditions can be very rare indeed. Whilst we cannot guarantee you will see them\, you will certainly leave well informed on how to spot them in future\, and what exactly they are. The event will begin with a personal welcome from Grassholme’s astronomer\, Gary Fildes. After the welcome\, Gary and the team will escort you into the new\, state-of-the-art classroom\, which has a cosy feel\, and high definition (HD) projection system. \nBooking is essential: book via https://www.grassholmeobservatory.com/book/ . Tickets cost: £18 (adults); £15 (concessions); £55 (family) \nThis event is part of the North Pennines Stargazing Festival running from 22-31 October 2021 – www.NorthPenninesStarFest.org.uk #NorthPennStarFest21 #NPennDarkSkies

SUMMARY:Astronomy and stargazing
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever looked up at the night time sky and wondered why you can’t see anything other than stars? Or have you ever looked up at the night sky and wondered how far it is to the stars that you can see? Do you want to know what a star is\, or how a telescope works\, or even where it all came from? If you answered yes to any of these questions\, then this evening is for you. During the evening you’ll discover details about the night sky that will amaze\, inform\, thrill and engage you – then it’s off to the telescopes for the chance to observe the sky\, through some seriously powerful pieces of equipment\, and the opportunity to take pictures of what you see\, as you gaze at the stars overhead. \nThe event will begin with a personal welcome from Grassholme Observatory’s astronomer\, Gary Fildes.
