An understandable and fascinating look at our solar system and our place in it whether you are eight or eighty years old.
Lasting around 2 hours. Come with us on a walk through the Solar System (1km walk) and then learn about Seasons, Phases of the Moon and the size of the planets.
We go on Solar Trail Walk through the Country Park, visiting each planet at scale distances from the planetarium.
Find out what causes the Seasons and why the length of day changes through the Year, all around the world.
Find out how we get the Phases of the Moon, making the Moon change shape and the effect upon our seas, as Tides change each month.
How we see the planets and the differences between them. We shall safely look at our Sun and see it is a great glowing sphere of gas.
In these events we are looking at the effect of gravity and light and shadows.
