The Flamsteed are supporting the SMASHfestUK festival.
SMASHfestUK is a brand new science and arts festival for young people, piloting in Deptford, South East London during the February half term holidays (14th February – 22nd February 2015). Part scifi, part horror and part post-apocalyptic-nightmare, the festival is themed around a gripping story in which an asteroid is on a collision course with Planet Earth and a zombie invasion ensues!
The Flamsteed Astronomy Society will be bringing telescopes, cameras and other astronomical equipment so that visitors can view objects in the night sky, including the planet Jupiter and a recently discovered comet. In the event of poor weather, Flamsteed volunteers will be on hand to discuss astronomy, telescopes and astrophotography with visitors. Whatever the weather, radio equipment capable of detecting meteors burning up in the Earth’s atmosphere will also be demonstrated.
