PUBLIC ASTRONOMY EVENTS (2026)

Dear Sarah and Jordan

Thank you for a fantastic evening .... myself and my friend Laura absolutely LOVED it! I am still feeling a childlike exhilaration at the awe and wonder of actually seeing a planet through that eyepiece. .... not to mention the nebula, Andromeda galaxy (!!!!) The Perseus Double Cluster and the Owl thing! I am blown away .... the cake and hot choc were perfect and you were all just brilliant. We are looking forward to it again with Saturn in mind .... meanwhile I am going to be contemplating my multiverse theory forever I think! I'll let you know when I get my groundbreaking insight .... just brilliant.

Thank you!!

Maisemore, Gloucestershire Event 

(6th February 2026)

A super evening, with lots of info and some great views of the planets. The children really enjoyed the interaction and learnt some cool stuff. There was a friendly warm atmosphere and although it was our first time both Jordan (from NOVA) and Sarah (from Mission Astro) made us welcome. A cool evening of stargazing. 

I attended one of the Mission Astro / NOVA stargazing events with my ten year old son and his friend in January - we all loved it. Getting outside on a very clear evening to see the night sky through several different telescopes was also a highlight and very exciting for us as first-timers.
