Scheduled dates
Humans have always been fascinated by the night sky. If you're interested in finding out more about what we can see in the night sky and what it tells us about life out there as well as life down here on Earth, come along for 'What On Earth Is That?' at High Force Hotel and Waterfall. You'll learn about what can be observed in Durham's Dark Skies with the naked eye and through telescopes, and have the chance to speak with researchers and artists about what it means for us humans today. The event is suitable for adults and older families. Please wear sensible outdoor footwear and warm clothing - it can get a bit chilly out there! The autumn weather up North means a cloudless sky can't be guaranteed, but unless the weather presents a health and safety risk the event will go ahead best it can.
