Learn about astronomy and astrophysics in the ‘the sky tonight’ talk! Explore the eyes of powerful telescopes, like the Great Equatorial Telescope or watch the live stream of the grand launch for the James Webb Space Telescope! Have a go on the Camera Obscura and watch the Thames and Greenwich in real time! Stand on UK time itself on the Prime meridian Line, which is the home of Greenwich Mean Time otherwise known as GMT - our time system!
