The super-high resolution telescope allows scientists detailed insights into the universe – but it’s also available to anyone with an enquiring mind who’s keen to look beyond the horizons of planet Earth. For a thrilling day out, we recommend paying the observatory and its interactive exhibition a visit. Take a journey through the universe, experience space as never before and take in a wealth of amazing facts about space and our environment.
