Community-led awareness campaign regarding Queens University's decision not to extend the lease on the observatory to the Observatory Science Centre.
So the sun sets on another stargazing season at The Observatory Science Centre. Last night's themed event for the Lyrids meteor shower included an excellent talk from @robertmassey.bsky.social & some lovely views in Dome D of M35, a galaxy 35 million light years away.

Happy ‘Heavenly’ Birthday Sir Patrick Moore, who would have been 102 today!

When Science Projects took over the observatory 30 years ago, he declared that the Observatory had been “Saved for Science!”

On Sunday, the Observatory Science Centre hosted another successful Telescope Clinic, a course designed to show absolute beginners how to set up & use their telescopes with confidence.
Just another example of the wonderful work that the OSC does in its historic home!
