Our course Stargazing the Night Skyб will be presented this spring at Queens University of Belfast. This short and very informal course is aimed at complete beginners who want to know more about seeing the wonders of the cosmos for themselves. No prior knowledge or equipment is required.

Over five weeks, the course takes a season by season look at the stars in their constellations and the mythology surrounding them.б We will look at how to spot satellites and planets too. If you want to discover the amazing objects we can all see at night, this is the course for you.
I have been successfully presenting this course for some years now and the contents are continually revised to match the latest knowledge. Happily, the feedback from students is overwhelmingly positive and it is gratifying to feel that I am meeting a public demand to find more about what lies beyond our little planet.
