| Stargazing
Live in Sherwood Pines Forest - Thursday 19th January |
| The sky's
the limit when astronomers descend on Sherwood Pines Forest Park
in the New Year. The Forestry Commission has linked up with local
astronomers from the Mansfield and Sutton Astronomical Society
to stage a glittering Nightwatch event in the 3,000 acre beauty
spot, near Clipstone, as part of the BBC's Stargazing Live event.
The historic
wood is a dark oasis thanks to the absence of street lights allowing
star gazers to marvel at the beauty of the sky above.Now it will
be the launch pad for a real life Star Trek as powerful telescopes
swing into action revealing distant galaxies, mysterious nebulae,
glittering star clusters and the giant planet Jupiter –
riding high in the sky and at its best in recent years
Ranger Karina Thornton explained: "The Stargazing Live event
aims to encourage more people to experience the wonder of the
night sky. At Sherwood we enjoy a darker sky than much of the
surrounding area, making celestial objects stand out better. These
events are always incredibly popular." To
join the event you’ll need to book on 01623 822447. The
cost is £5 per person and the event gets underway at 7pm. |
