Visit to the Planetarium

March 28th 2015

33 members and volunteers from the Club visited the Chichester Planetarium, where they were given a presentation on the origins and effects of the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis).

The presentation consisted of stunning portrayals of the night sky over Chichester as well as illustrations of the sun spots and the atmospheric conditions which cause these fantastic displays in the Arctic sky. A variety of colourful displays were shown on video against the backdrop of the Arctic night sky.

After the display, the club members enjoyed coffee and cakes to complete a wonderful and enlightening visit.
