Walthamstow Wetlands
Forest Road, London, London, N17 9NH
What is the moon and where did it come from? How does it affect life on our planet? Join us for this talk about the moon, earth’s only satellite that is larger than some of the dwarf planets in our solar system. We’ll share tips for how to view it and what to see when you look.
The evening will also feature an exclusive guided walk through the reserve to view the night sky (weather permitting).
