Stargazing Lates

As we roll into autumn, join us for an evening of stargazing. 

Uncover how technology transforms our view of the night sky and how the ISRO’s Chandrayaan-2 and the James Webb and Kepler telescopes help us view stars, planets, galaxies and nebulae.

Highlights

Watch this space! We’ll be announcing more events soon.
