The new year is nearly upon us. All the staff at the Observatory have been working tirelessly to ensure that next year will provide many new and exciting opportunities for our visitors to enjoy. Some of the exciting events will be, exploring the science in science fiction! ever watched Star Trek and wondered if Warp speed is possible? well this series of events will be designed to tackle questions like this. The idea will be to come to the facility and watch the movie in the classroom, then we will take questions on the science behind the movie and contribute to what should be a lively debate by adding the true scientific slant on it all. So keep your eyes on the site for these events for 2010. We are also keen to start off astronomy workshops for guests, ever wondered how to use a telescope or to learn more about the universe around us? well with these events we hope to help you all understand better and learn together the wonders of this universe. as well as these events we will have a whole host of new and exciting guest speakers both professional and amateur throughout the year, as well as our ever popular nightwwatch events. So keep visiting and supporting the site and we hope to see you all in the new year. Gary Fildes FRAS Director Kielder Observatory |
