While on holiday in Northumberland we took advantage of an open evening at the Kielder Observatory. The evening started with a talk by the Director, Gary Fildes about the Universe and our place in it. This was followed by a tour of the facility and views of the Moon and Saturn through the 20? Newtonian and 14? SCT telescopes as the sky didn’t get dark enough to look at anything fainter.
