Partial Eclipse of the Sun

Tuesday 25th October 10am – 12 Noon at The Old Bathing Station, De La Warr Parade, Bexhill

The Moon will pass in front of the Sun, creating a partial eclipse of the Sun visible from Africa, Asia, Europe, Greenland and Guernsey between 10:00 and 12:01 BST.

From Bexhill-on-Sea, the Sun will be eclipsed to a maximum of 14%

Like all astronomical events this is dependant on the weather!

Quadrantid meteor shower Peak 3rd January 2022

The Quadrantid meteor shower will be active from 12 December to 12 January, producing its peak rate of meteors around 3 January.

Over this period, there will be a chance of seeing Quadrantid meteors whenever the shower’s radiant point – in the constellation Bootes – is above the horizon, with the number of visible meteors increasing the higher the radiant point is in the sky.

From Bexhill-on-Sea  the radiant point is circumpolar, which means it is always above the horizon and the shower will be active throughout the night.

The radiant point culminates (is highest in the sky) after dawn – at around 08:00 GMT – and so the shower is likely produce its best displays shortly before dawn, when its radiant point is highest.

At this time, the Earth’s rotation turns Bexhill-on-Sea to face optimally towards the direction of the incoming meteors, maximising the number that rain vertically downwards, producing short trails close to the radiant point. At other times, there will be fewer meteors burning up over Bexhill-on-Sea, but those that do will tend to enter the atmosphere at an oblique angle, producing long-lived meteors that may traverse a wide area of the sky before completely burning up.

The shower is expected to reach peak activity at around 22:00 GMT on 3 January 2022.

Observing prospects

At its peak, the shower is expected to produce a nominal rate of around 120 meteors per hour (ZHR). However, this zenithal hourly rate is calculated assuming a perfectly dark sky and that the radiant of the shower is situated directly overhead. In practice, any real observing sight will fall short of these ideal conditions. The number of meteors you are likely to see is thus lower than this, and can be estimated using the ZHR formula.

From Bexhill-on-Sea, the radiant of the shower will appear at a peak altitude of 79° above your horizon, and on the basis of this, we estimate that you may be able to see up to 117 meteors per hour at the shower’s peak.

The shower will peak close to new moon, and so moonlight will present minimal interference.

National Astronomy Week

In autumn 2020, Mars makes a close approach to Earth, and it won’t be as close again until 2035. We’ll be holding a National Astronomy Week to make sure that as many people as possible get a chance to see Mars through a telescope, and to find out about the exciting space missions to the planet.

The week will be Saturday 14 November to Sunday 22 November. During this week, Mars will be easily visible through telescopes in the evening sky, as well as Jupiter, Saturn and the Moon. Astronomers up and down the UK will be holding observing sessions with their telescopes, and we’ll be listing them on this website.

https://astronomyweek.org.uk/World Space week 4th -10th October What is World Space Week? World Space Week is an international celebration of science and technology, and their contribution to the betterment of the human condition.
The United Nations General Assembly declared in 1999 that World Space Week will be held each year from October 4-10. These dates commemorate two events:

  • October 4, 1957: Launch of the first human-made Earth satellite, Sputnik 1, thus opening the way for space exploration
  • October 10, 1967: The signing of the Treaty on Principles Governing the Activities of States in the Exploration and Peaceful Uses of Outer Space, including the Moon and Other Celestial Bodies.

Where and how is World Space Week celebrated?

World Space Week consists of space education and outreach events held by space agencies, aerospace companies, schools, planetaria, museums, and astronomy clubs around the world in a common timeframe. These synchronized space events attract greater public and media attention. World Space Week 2017 achieved record scale:

  • more than 4,000 events
  • Events in 82 nations

Total audience since 2007:

  • Over 2,000,000 attendees
  • Nearly 500,000,000 media impressions

World Space Week is coordinated by the United Nations with the support of the World Space Week Association (WSWA). The WSWA leads a global team of National Coordinators, who promote the celebration of World Space Week within their own countries.

What are the goals of World Space Week?

  • Provide unique leverage in space outreach and education
  • Educate people around the world about the benefits that they receive from space
  • Encourage greater use of space for sustainable economic development
  • Demonstrate public support for space programs
  • Excite young people about science, technology, engineering, and math
  • Foster international cooperation in space outreach and education

Monday 11th November 2019

A rare transit of Mercury across the face of the Sun is visible from the UK on 11 November 2019. Mercury starts to move across the face of the Sun around 12:30 pm and continues throughout the afternoon, leaving the disc after sunset as seen from the UK.

Saturday 5th October 2019

Astronomy Adventures will be hosting a Free Event. International Observe the Moon Night is a worldwide celebration of lunar science and exploration held annually since 2010. One day each year, everyone on Earth is invited to observe and learn about the Moon together, and to celebrate the cultural and personal connections we all have with our nearest neighbour.

The event occurs in October, when the Moon is around first quarter. A first quarter Moon is visible in the afternoon and evening, a convenient time for most hosts and participants. Furthermore, the best lunar observing is typically along the dusk/dawn terminator, where shadows are the longest, rather than at full Moon.

This event will be held at The Old Bathing Station Café, De La Warr Parade, Bexhill from 6pm till late. Monday 26th August 2019
