Event details

The Moon is a faithful companion in the sky, at night and during the day. But how much of what we know about it is true and how much is pure fiction?

This month has seen a stunning annular Solar Eclipse across both North- and South-America. And it is now followed up by a partial Lunar Eclipse end of this month, visible in the UK. This timing makes it an ideal opportunity to explore Blood Moons, lunar conspiracies, werewolves, and other misunderstandings around the Moon. But we can also explore unexpected things related to the Moon, such as how to navigate using the Moon and the phases of the Moon seen from the southern hemisphere. So join our speaker Dr Daniel Brown (NTU) in his talk The Moon - Mysteries and More.

This event is taking place as a hybrid event on NTU campus. This will allow a flexible way of attending. You are currently booking to attend virtually and only the talk component. A link to the material on YouTube will be emailed to everyone who is attending virtually in their confirmation email. We will be happy to answer questions posted as response to the video over the following days. So do keep booking onto this event. If you haven't booked you might need to wait a while before you can see it.

You can also attend the event in person and enter our planetarium but would need to book the Open Dome IN PERSON event to purchase your ticket.
