Hello, and a warm welcome to our Young Astronomers’ Club information page
Our Young Astronomers club runs each late autumn through early spring. See here for upcoming dates.
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 young astronomers 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;
- Gabriel Becerra – LAS Junior Representative
- David Galvin – Director of the Observatory
You can contact us either via Twitter @AstronomersLas or on the form at the bottom of this page.
Please note:
- Youngsters must be accompanied by parent or responsible adult.
- Cost is a voluntary donation of £1.50 per youngster per evening.
- Drinks and refreshments included
- Start time is 6:30pm through to 8:30pm (but may run on a little later)
- As you may be outside, dress appropriately – it may be very cold!
