Astronomy

A mix of presentations by members or guest speakers, visits to relevant local places of interest, practical stargazing, films and discussion. As well as scientific information about stars and planets, the group may cover the history of astronomical discovery, space travel and exploration, mythology and folklore, and any other relevant topics members decide upon. During National Astronomy Week some members gathered in a local park to view the moon and planets, with one member's telescope providing great views of Jupiter and its moons. Meetings are in a first floor room at a central Bristol pub, accessible only by stairs, and members are not expected to attend every meeting or visit.
