CONNECT Trip: Kielder Sky Observatory
Come and join us for this exceptional and unforgettable trip to KIELDER SKY OBSERVATORY.
There are still tickets available to buy from Students' Union Edinburgh Building (City Space) or Info Point (St Peters'). Unfortunately we are no longer selling tickets for this trip online.
We have booked the whole observatory just for ourselves and we will be able (weather permitting) to observe planets, stars, galaxies and the beautifully colourful Nebulas.
You will also learn about sky, galaxies, planets and will be able to ask any questions you have. There will be a qualified astronomer to show us around and to set up the 3 telescopes they are using.
Kielder is the darkest place in England and thus most suited to observe the sky.
More info: Kielder Observatory
How much: £25 + booking fee. This includes 3 hours at the observatory and transport to Kielder and journey back to Sunderland.
*You MUST be registered on this site to buy tickets!!! Registration Instructions.
