Stonehenge is famous for its alignments with the sun, but did you know that the ancient monument may have also been carefully designed to align with the movements of the Moon?
Step inside our pop-up planetarium and embark on a journey through the solar system with our expert astronomer. Learn how to identify celestial objects such as stars, planets, and the Moon as we observe the night sky over the ancient stone circle.
2024 is a special year as an astronomical event called the Major Lunar Standstill approaches, a period when moonrise and moonset are furthest apart along the horizon. It is believed that at least one major standstill was marked during the early phase of Stonehenge.
Children must be accompanied by an adult.
