SUMMARY:🌕See Solar Eclipse & Meteor shower | Wine | Stargazing With Telesco
 pes 🚀
LOCATION:Higbury and Islington Station
DESCRIPTION:Saved in Palaner as: saved\n\nPalaner match: 38% · why: lots of
  people going\n\n🌌Ever look up and marvel with insatiable curiosity at the
  beauty and wonder of the universe? That wild sobering thought that somewh
 ere in the chaos of creation - the emergence of life - the universe became
  conscious enough to look back in time and not just ask the existential qu
 estions\, but try to answer them.\n\nAnd now\, in our own small moment of 
 cosmic history\, join to see rare Solar sun block last seen in UK skies in
  1999 and one that will no return again until the year 2090.\n\n🚀 But ther
 e’s more celestial wonder: After the eclipse ends and skies darken - using
  telescope we’ll tale a look at Jupiter\, along with planet's potential li
 fe‑harbouring moons\, Saturn and those amzing rings\, iconic beautiful sta
 r fields\, the remnants of supernovae witnessed by our earliest ancestors\
 , multi‑star systems reminiscent of the twin suns of Star Wars and even Ta
 u Ceti\, a star hosting two Earth‑like worlds in its habitable zone. Plus 
 Meteors\n\nAll of this under the spring evening - with drinks\, engaging c
 onversation\, and good‑natured banter — this April. In between observing -
  we'll have drinks and engaging chats on all astronomy related topics for 
 those inclined: Space exploration | Fermi Paradox | Astrobiology | Cosmolo
 gy | paleontology\\\, | SETI & Drake Equation for alien civilisations esti
 mates | exoplanetology etc as well as non space chats and banter too. No d
 oubt we'll hear the usual jokes we've all heard before! If those don't mak
 e you laugh\\\, my impersonation of Los Angeles ET will! 👽\n\nAnd to help 
 set the mood and make the night feel even extra galactic\, I’ll put my DJ 
 hat to play some space‑themed tunes and songs about the stars!\n\nYou don'
 t need a telescope as you will be able to view through scopes belonging to
  me and other club members (as long as you behave responsibly and don't te
 mper with expensive equipment). If you have your own telescope/binoculars 
 feel free to bring along and I can help you setting it up if you're a newb
 ie\n\n==== ITINERARY =====\nWe will meet outside H&I Station in Highbury I
 slington. After a short wait for anyone delayed\, I will escort everyone t
 o our observation point in the local park 5 minutes walk away and brief yo
 u in terms of what to expect\, observing etiquette\, tips\, equipment hand
 ling and take any questions you have - weather general or astronomy/cosmol
 ogy related.\n\nAfter Drinks: Unless I have a very important 9AM Tue deadl
 ine for a unfinished client presentation or something - most of us usually
  head to a cosy bar for a drink. If so - I will annouce the pub when we le
 ave the park\n\n==== What Can You Expect To See (this time of year)? ====\
 n\nJupiter and 4 moons\nMeteors\nAndromedia Galaxy\nStar clusters such as 
 the Pleiades & Owl Cluster etc\nInternational Space station fly by\nBinary
  & tripple star systems (think planet Tatooine in Starwars!)\,\nNeptune\nU
 ranuus\nOur moon\nA look towards the galactic centre of the Mlikyway where
  that supermassive £22b Labour black hole sits (Sagittarius A)\n\nMore her
