National Astronomy Week 2025
National Astronomy Week 2025 saw ERA working with other local clubs (HERAS and BLAS) to organise stargazing in Grandad’s Park in Cottingham.
We also put on an exhibition at the nearby Civic Hall.
Light Pollution
We have been highly supportive of East Riding Council’s Live Labs 2 initiative to reduce the carbon footprint of highway lighting. Here you can see Club members stargazing alongside a main road now that the streetlights are no longer used.
Find out more on our Light Pollution Help page.
Our pavement astronomy event in Beverley was an opportunity for members of the public and passersby to have a go at stargazing.
