Winter Astronomy Evenings Royal Observatory, Edinburgh, Friday
The dark nights of winter make Scotland a great place for stargazing.

The team will also lead you through a
naked-eye guide to the night sky. Sadly they’re unable to observe when it is cloudy, raining or particularly windy (vibrations from the wind make it difficult to focus on objects). But in the event of bad weather, alternative activities will be arranged.
