Public Events
The Cardiff Astronomical Society (CAS) organises regular night sky and occasional solar observing events at its Observatory in Dyffryn Gardens or at locations further afield. The events are either organised by CAS on its own or run in conjunction with other organisations.
In addition, the Society's public outreach team has also answered many hundreds of questions about space and astronomy from our young visitors! Society officers have also made visits to schools and scout etc meetings when requested.
Enjoyed seeing the telescope and realy enjoyed the Stellarium presentation. Very interesting. Thank you! xxx
Sophie and Philip
Our third visit, and just as interesting each time. The explanations are clear and the advice on equipment very helpful. Thanks.
