Guide to the Walthamstow Night Sky: Asteroids and Meteorites

What’s a shooting star? is there a difference between a meteor, a comet and an asteroid? Where do they all come from? Stow stargazers will share their perspective during this informative night on what are known as Near Earth Objects or NEOs, in the night sky.

The evening will also feature an exclusive guided walk through the reserve to view the night sky (weather permitting) with a chance try see some of the meteor shower which is peaking that week. Bring a rug or something to lie on and we’ll see if we can spot a few.

It’s not essential but feel free to bring binoculars and a red-light torch. Wrap up warm for your exclusive evening tour.
