The Sheffield Astronomical Society is looking forward to their biggest event of the year this Saturday which is completely free to attend. The event is part of the National Science and Engineering Week and is held at Tapton Secondary School. Doors open at 12pm and you can drop in whenever you want and for as long as you want, up until 6pm.
The AstroDay event will not only include safe observation of the Sun's surface, but includes a session inside a planetarium, again free of charge. Hands on activities for all ages will include rocket launching, driving Mars rovers, crater making, badge making and Paint a Planet. You will be treated to spectacular presentations from our guest speakers including Professor Don Kurtz. Refreshments will be available.
