Saturn and a waning moon on the rise!

An Autumn sky full of wonder Autumn is a stunning time of year and tonight we have a sky packed full of beautiful treasures. As twilight ends the sky is full of stars with the Milky Way well positioned. Then to the east the ringed planet of Saturn rises followed by a waning moon. We'll have telescopes and binoculars on hand to share the views. We may even by able to see the chilly distant world of Neptune! This event is being staged in collaboration with our friends at Go Stargazing! The Hub provides a warm indoor space for colourful presentations with a purpose built viewing area alongside. If it's cloudy we will still see stars thanks to a brilliant computer based planetarium show. The North York Moors National Park is an international dark sky reserve. We advise you to wear sensible outdoor footwear and wrap up warm. Bring a torch. Please note the Hub is not part of the main Sutton Bank visitor centre building, but located one hundred metres away at the north west corner of the complex. It has its own car park - just drive through the raised barrier. Look out for the red external lights on the Hub and two flashing red LEDs on the barrier.
