An evening of stargazing, space activities, cosmology chat and talks at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard, with activities taking place on board HMS Warrior 1860 and in Action Stations.

Join astrophysicists and cosmologists from the University of Portsmouth's Institute of Cosmology and Gravitation, navigation experts from Portsmouth Historic Dockyard, amateur astronomers from Hampshire Astronomical Group, space engineers from Airbus Defence and Space, the Astro Pi project team from the Raspberry Pi Foundation, and many more at this free event, exploring navigation through space and time.

During the event you will have the opportunity to take a look through a telescope, learn how sailors navigate by the stars, and find out more about our Universe.

There will be a range of activities to suit all ages, with plenty to do and see whether it's clear or cloudy!
