Weโre kicking off this weekโs #whereisyourmug posts with an entry from one of our volunteers, Dave! Heโs been up in the Highlands for his birthday, but not without his trusty Kielder Observatory mug!
All set up at Great North Museum: Hancock! Come and see to play with light and make UV bracelets! And Iโm sure weโll squeeze in plenty of Astronomy too!
Through Kielder Observatory weโre opening up the wonders of the dark skies to all with new public experiences delivered with a range of great partners like The Common Room.
Come along and learn all about strange new worlds!
We're heading to The Common Room next month for a special event on Discovering New Worlds! Does life exist on other planets? How will we know? Join us for a fascinating evening as we try to answer some of these big questions!

OK, so it's not quite a #whereisyourmug post, more of a #whereisyourhat post! But here's Cath Livingston over in the Falklands in her Kielder Observatory hat!
Where in the world will be we spotted next?
You can help support our work engaging more people with science and astronomy in lots of ways- but we think one of the best is by doing a bit of retail therapy in our gift shop! We have our classic Kielder mug, hats and some wonderful prints like this ๐

Finally a clear night for me at Kielder Observatory. Shame thereโs such a bright moon to get in the way of the stars.

Spent the morning with our Kielder Observatory team and year 5 at Hill View Junior Academy.
Sure, we bring an inflatable planetarium and a case full of meteorites, but the kids bring the very best questions and lashings of enthusiasm. So many astronomers in the making!
We'll be at Great North Museum: Hancock next Friday 26th April as part of their Great North Nights: Out of this World event!
Lots of great activities, talks and exhibitions to explore๐ฉโ๐
Book now for this fantastic event: greatnorthmuseum.org.uk/whats-on/greatโฆ

A big moment for Kielder Observatory; our first livestream of a solar eclipse and our first from another country.
Brilliant stuff from our astronomer on the ground in Texas and the stream team, all worth it for their reaction to the totality reveal 30 mins in.

Watching the live stream of today's total solar eclipse with Ellie Macdonald of the Kielder Observatory - so exciting! What an unbelievably spectacular event. Next time I'd like to witness a total solar eclipse in person. With camera, of course!
