Coxwold Dark Skies event
Coxwold is becoming a Dark Skies community. Come to a presentation by astro-photographer Simon Smith and Peter Coates at Coxwold Village Hall Sat 4th Jan 2025 at 5.30pm followed by star gazing. We hope for clear skies to the south east, as the Moon, Saturn, Venus, Jupiter and Mars can be visible at this time. There will be small telescopes and binoculars to borrow if you cannot bring your own. This event is free and you do not need to book.
Laurence Sterne would have seen very dark skies before the advent of street lights. Because of his plentiful use of asterisks he has been called ‘The Curate of Stars’.
