Amateur Astronomy at UTLT!UTLT ~ The Mindful Place to B & Be!™ |
A universe of wonder awaits you at UTLT, so why not top off a great evening of good food and good company with a peep through our powerful telescope for some amateur astronomy and some serious star-gazing and cosmic celestial sights!
Let Nikki take you on a journey of discovery through the heavens above whenever the skies are clear and the atmosphere is dry and wind-free. In the summer months, this can mean quite late-night gazing, starting around 10pm. In the winter, it can all happen earlier as the nights are darker for longer. A hobbyist since arriving in France, she’ll share her passion for star-gazing and point you in the direction of some truly amazing sights of stars, planets, galaxies, constellations and clusters
Leave the light-polluted urban skies behind! Instead, come to Under The Lime Tree and allow yourself to be allured by the skies above!
Soak up the richness of a dark clear night and be charmed with close encounters of our Moon, or humbled by the incomprehensible truth that a distant light in the Milky Way has travelled for millennia just to reach our eyes!
“We have examined the universe in space and seen that we live on a mote of dust circling a humdrum star in the remotest corner of an obscure galaxy” Carl Sagan
