Astronomy Evening at Bore Place: Mars
Thursday 16th January 2025 from 18:30pm to 20:00pm
Bore Place Country House and Outdoor Education Centre
Chiddingstone, Edenbridge, Kent, TN8 7AR, South East
Did you know Mars only approaches the Earth every second year, and it is only close to us for two months – and today is the perfect time to view the Red Planet! This evening talk from the Edenbridge and District Astronomers will focus on Mars and if the weather permits (both on Earth and on Mars!), there will be a telescope set up for observing, too. With a clear sky, we’ll hope to see the polar caps and surface markings on the planet.
