Star Party to be held at Nowton Park
Nowton Park, in Bury St Edmunds, will be the location for a Star Party, next month.
People will be able to explore the wonders of the night’s sky in the event which is being organised by the Athenaeum Astronomy Association who will introduce specific aspects of the night sky in March.
The moon will be full on March 21 and waning thereafter. It will rise at about 8.15pm on March 22 and at around 9.30pm on March 23. Given clear skies visitors should be able to observe star clusters and Nebulae early in the evening and later, the Moon.
Running parallel to observing will be a series of presentations on astronomy, some fun activities for children and the opportunity to talk to AAA members about all things astronomical.
The party takes place at 7pm on Friday, March 22, with tickets priced at £5 for adults and £3 for children.
