And if you can't, maybe you know someone who could? So please share! Thank you 🌟😀

Are you an electrician? A carpenter? A carpet fitter? Could you donate some paint? Have a floor sander we could borrow? Any leftover paintbrushes, tools are gardening equipment from your last DIY project?

Can you help us?

From 18th- 24th June we will be closed to carry out some maintenance work on our beloved observatory. After nearly 20 years of use, it needs a bit of TLC and we're looking to give it a bit of a glow up ✨

A huge THANK YOU to the astronomers from Kielder Observatory who visited our school and took us on a journey into space! It was a fantastic experience for the children - and staff! Benton Dene Primary

Did you catch our Director of Astronomy and Science Dan Pye on BBC Tees last week?

Listen to him chatting about noctilucent clouds, auroras, light pollution and astronomy careers! (from about 12.30)

Thanks to The QT for speaking to us about some spectacular summer sights in our skies!

Keep those eyes peeled and looking upwards!

Celebrating my fourth decade around the sun by gazing in awe at the vastness of the universe & learning about how infinitesimally small & insignificant we are on our tiny blue planet.

Thanks Kielder Observatory for a great birthday!

We’ll be having a go at these in the science tent for sure!

The lighter nights bring their own beauty! Still plenty to see in the skies this summer!

You sold out the last one so quick we just had to come back for more! Thrilled to be working with The Alnwick Garden to bring you an exciting evening of astronomy talks, workshops and (fingers crossed) some observing! 🔭🪐
