Reach for the stars at Waters’ Edge

Waters’ Edge Visitor Centre at Barton upon Humber, and Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust have planned an evening of night walks, talks and family activities, from 6pm to 10pm, as part of BBC Stargazing Live week.

People are invited to come along and make the most of the night sky – whether a complete beginner or an enthusiast.

There will be the opportunity to meet Lincolnshire astronomer Paul Money and get hands on advice from the North Lincolnshire, Scunthorpe and East Riding Astronomy Groups.

There’s activities for children as well as a Tour of the Winter Skies talk by local astronomer Paul Money.

Three local astronomy groups, Lincolnshire Astronomy Society, East Riding Astronomers and the Scunthorpe Astronomy Group will be there to give expert help and advice.

Education officer at Far Ings Emma Wilmot said: “It’s a wonderful opportunity to get close-up views of planets, galaxies, moons and perhaps a comet – all in the company of our local astronomers.”
