Redditch Astro

Local astronomy society in Redditch UK. Meeting the first Monday of each month since 2007

[Redditch Astro @redditchastro]

Don't forget our Free talk on Monday 5th with Chris Lintott. All current and potential Citizen Scientists or just the Sci-Curious are welcome! https://t.co/IDMJ9xqJv2

Would @ProfBrianCox be up for a meet and greet with a local astronomy group during his Red Ditch warm up tour? I like to think that with only 20 members we have the highest public engagement to member ratios in the field. Bowling and a curry would be on us of course :-)

Many thanks to @BIS_spaceflight and @TheHiveWorcs for inviting us to a very busy Space Day. We met some lovely people who may stop by at our meetings we hope and we met amazing Spot The Dog from @BostonDynamics

Saturday 24th Sept 5:30pm We can't guarantee the weather but bring your binoculars, telescopes or just your curiosity to Morton Stanley Cafe, Redditch where we will be channeling the enthusiasm of previous guests @DrJeniMillard @chrislintott @helen_hm11 to marvel at the night sky

[Redditch Astro @redditchastro]

Would anyone following @HistAstro be able to offer an online or in person talk on the history of astronomy to a small UK Astronomy Society? Some of the historical artifacts of early astronomy (East and West) are fascinating.

[Redditch Astro @redditchastro]

Thanks :-)

Saturday 24th September is our first. Others will follow if successful.

[CardiffAS @CardiffAS]

Last night, we were @BreconBeaconsNP with telescopes, binoculars and talks. @darkskywales were also there with a planetarium.
After Sunset we had good views of Saturn, Jupiter with 4 Moons (Callisto, Europa, Io & Ganymede). The Milky Way plus much much more! @BeaconsTourism

A thread on my appearance for 'The Sky At Night'. Out of the blue last month I was contacted by a member of the @BBCStargazing team who saw these images in @skyatnightmag (after a magazine researcher read my tweets) to chat about my photos & use of smartphone astrophotography 1/8

3. We have launched a new webpage, dedicated to dark and quiet skies preservation. Learn more about the types of pollution affecting our skies, and what is ESO doing to mitigate them. #ProtectDarkSkies

1/ Today, one third of humanity cannot see the Milky Way at night due to light pollution. In addition, newly launched satellites are also starting to pollute our view of the night sky, producing artefacts in astronomical images. #ProtectDarkSkies

Expecting a flyby during our Sept 24th star party. Will use this video as a standby for a cloudy evening ;-)

The #ISS on Aug 31st, took a while to process this animation, but we got there in the end. Hopefully twitter doesn't butcher it but here's another version just in case: https://t.co/V6BzKRGAl7 #astrophotography
