Celebrate International Astronomy Day at Scitech this weekend with two special ‘Meet The Space Scientist’ presentations in the planetarium.
These presentations are a great opportunity for everyone to learn more about celestial objects, space, and the physical universe.
International Astronomy Day first took place in 1973 as a day to increase interest in astronomy and give everyone more ways to learn about it 🔭
