Weekly Meetings
Each Thursday we meet in the Blackett Lecture Theatre (apart from over Christmas/New Year, when the Society takes a break), from about 19:00. Any scheduled talks will start at about 20:00. Weather permitting, we may also observe using the telescopes until as late as people want to stay. If you are interested in coming to any of these meetings please see the visitor information page.
Due to redevelopment work on the North Campus, the Godlee Observatory is now closed for an indefinite period - we now meet at the Blackett Lecture Theatre in the Schuster Building on the Main Campus.
You can see what's in the night sky for the next month by visiting our JOURNAL page.
