Mid Kent Astronomical Society are holding a MEGA Space Spectacular at Canterbury Academy on 18th January 2014. The event will have some of their usual favorite activities plus rocket making and launching for the youngsters. Their will be Astrodomes and Cool Science presentations given by Kent University, (lots of liquid nitrogen experiments aimed at younger audiences, obviously all closely controlled to make them safe).
MKAS will also be giving astronomy talks in a proper lecture theatre and offering a chance to visit the large observatory and take part in observing through an array of telescopes located outside in the field.
They will have some specially adapted telescopes to take compact cameras and smartphones which will give an opportunity for visitors to take their own photos of Jupiter and the Moon if its clear.
Saturday 18th January , 7 – 10pm
