Astronomy evenings

University of Surrey & Guildford Astronomical Society

Are you curious about the night sky? Have you ever wanted to see planets and galaxies through a telescope, or learn about the latest discoveries in astronomy? Now’s your chance!

What to expect

Events run monthly from October to April, on Wednesdays from 19:15 to 21:15. Each evening begins with an engaging research talk delivered by a Surrey academic, followed by stargazing (weather permitting). Guests will have the opportunity to observe through small telescopes provided by Guildford Astronomical Society members, as well as Surrey’s 16-inch telescope housed in the observatory dome. If the weather is cloudy, alternative indoor activities (such as a tour of the night sky) will be offered.
