Our Young Astronomers club starts again on 3rd October 2019 from 7pm, you’re most welcome! Click here to see all upcoming Young Astronomers’ events.
If you’re under 17 years of age, interested in the wonderful hobby of Astronomy, live in or near the Merseyside area and would like to know where you can go to enjoy astronomy then you’ve hit the right place.
We’re the Liverpool Astronomical Society and we run a monthly Young Astronomers Club at our Pex Hill Observatory. The club meets monthly between October and March where we do many things including observing through telescopes, astro-imaging, have many interesting talks, making a telescope, build a solar system, Lunar Projects and many other things. The club is aimed at 10 to 16 year olds but we don’t turn any youngster away. We have children from 7 to 17 with a regular turn out each month of around 25 so come along and meet us, we’re a friendly lot;
- Steve Southern – LAS President
- Brendan Martin – LAS Vice-President
- David Galvin – Director of the Observatory
