Take a trip into the Cosmos with researchers at Oxford Physics. You will begin your trip on Earth before visiting our nearest neighbours, the Moon and the planets in our solar system. Explore strange new worlds and hear about how we hunt for life on distant planets. Let us guide you through our own galaxy and those billions of light years away.

The event will include stalls, hands-on activities, talks, a planetarium and more!  No booking required, but you may need to queue for a little while so bring warm clothes.

New name, new look!

This event will be a similar format to Stargazing Oxford. However, the event will be smaller (so expect to stay for less time) with a greater opportunity to explore the vastness of the Universe through a curated experience.

Timetable: Plan your visit

• 2pm: Doors open for day-time activities (hands-on stalls, talks and planetarium)
• 5.30pm: Night-sky observing begins (if clear)
• 6pm: Last entry for the day-time activities
• 8pm: End of night-sky observing.

Night-sky observing

The night sky observing will be led by two local amateur astronomy groups:

Abingdon Astronomical Society

Chipping Norton Amateur Astronomy Group
