SUMMARY:Family friendly astronomy
DESCRIPTION:Join the team at the North Pennines Observatory for this family friendly creative introduction to astronomy – bringing together art and science to explore the constellations and our near planets as viewed from the North Pennines. \nGuest astronomer\, Roy Alexander\, will start with a beginner’s guide around the night sky. If the sky is clear you’ll be outside looking up with laser pointers to identify the cosmos looking in particular\, for Saturn\, Jupiter and the constellations of Taurus\, the Seven Sisters\, and much\, much more. If it’s cloudy\, no worries we’ll use our astronomy software and big screen projection to show you a virtual image of the ‘live’ sky that night. \nBut it won’t stop there\, ACA’s creative director and artist Alan Smith will overlap with Roy to take you back through art history looking at how humankind has creatively interpreted the cosmos through some incredible artwork. You will then have the opportunity to draw your own map of the cosmos and create your own constellations to take home. \n\nThis event is suitable for families (8 years +) or anyone of any age or ability wanting to explore the wonders of the universe.\n\nAdvance booking is essential via https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/family-friendly-creative-introduction-to-astronomy-tickets-1024914235067 \n\n£12.50 concessions (under 18)\n£19 adult (18+)\n£52 family (2 adults\, 2 children)\n\nNorth Pennines Observatory @ ACA\, Allenheads Contemporary Arts\, Old School House\, Allenheads\, Hexham\, Northumberland NE47 9HR. Visit https://www.acart.org.uk/observatory-allenheads for details. \nIf the sky is clear\, we’ll open up the observatory to take a closer look at the night sky after the talk and arts activities. Observing the skies is weather-dependent\, but you’ll be pleased to know that events go ahead whatever the weather. The team at the observatory aim to deliver exciting and interesting events every time. \nWrap up warm and bring a red light torch (if you have one). All art materials provided. Access to the North Pennines Observatory is via a steep access road and has limited space for parking – please park considerately in the village and walk up or message (helenshead@acart.org.uk) to reserve a parking space.

SUMMARY:How far is that star?
DESCRIPTION:**Cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances** \nA very short history of very big distances. \nHow long would it take to walk to the Moon? Or travel to another solar system? How long would it be until we noticed\, if the Sun stopped shining? How do we know all of this and is there somebody\, or something\, out there asking the same questions? Join Martin Kitching to explore these questions\, and more that you probably never knew you wanted the answers to. \nAfter the talk you will do some stargazing (sky conditions permitting) in the Observatory. \nGeneral admission: £15 (+ £1.76 fee)\nConcessions: £10 (+ £1.37 fee) Under 18s\, students\, unemployed\, Allen Valley residents\nFamily: £40 (+ £3.71 fee) 2 adults & 2 children (under 16) \nWrap up warm and bring a red light torch (if you have one).

SUMMARY:The dark side of the universe
DESCRIPTION:Ever wondered what’s out there? Dr. Pete Edwards\, Director of Science Outreach at Durham University will guide you through! Tickets from £10 \n\n\n\n\n\nMost of our universe is missing! When we look into the night sky we realise there is much more out there than meets the eye. Our universe is filled with mysterious dark matter\, whose gravity provides the cosmic glue that holds it all together\, and dark energy\, which is slowly tearing the universe apart. It seems that darkness rules. But what is this dark stuff? How do we know it is there? What does it do? Durham University lecturer Dr. Peter Edwards will provide some answers. After the talk\, you’ll do some stargazing (sky conditions permitting) in the Observatory. \nWrap up warm and bring a red light torch (if you have one). Access to the North Pennines Observatory is via a steep access road and has limited space for parking – please park considerately in the village and walk up or call to reserve a parking space.
