Spice Solent goes Star Gazing in the New Forest

Join Spice Solent as we take a guided tour of the wonderful autumn constellations. Then step into the shoes of the great astronomers like Galileo and Herschel by using the large telescopes to explore the night sky in all its glory, seeing the incredible celestial wonders such as, the rings planet - Saturn, the profound cluster - the Pleiades, our galactic neighbour - the Andromeda galaxy, the mighty Perseus Double and more. 

What might be visible?

The Moon - our natural satellite in its rawest form with jaw dropping surface features. 

Jupiter & Saturn - these HUGE giants that have been a source of interest since the invention of the telescope 400 years ago. They still blow people away to this day.

Mars & Venus - our closest neighbours and the most visited by probes and robots. See the beautiful red planet in all its glory or the yellow haze of Venus in what can only be described as a hell-like planet.

Star clusters - like 1000's of diamonds sparkling in the sky, these clusters don't disappoint our powerful telescopes will offer you a true visual astronomy experience. 

Nebulae - described as 'the mystical clouds of the universe' our very origins are laid bare before us in which we can gorge upon or see the ghostly remnants left behind from dead stars.

**Moon and planets may not be visible on chosen date**

Please remember this experience is weather dependent so things do change from time and time.
