1–9 February 2025

Countdown to nine days of astronomy across the UK

Get ready for the 9th National Astronomy Week 

We’ll be chasing the Moon across the sky as it passes a treasure trove of planets and winter constellations. Follow the Moon’s progress with our stargazing guides, attend telescope events, or see the stars in our special planetarium show. Explore a new theme each day with online events, information, and resources for all ages.

National Astronomy Week 2025 runs from 1-9 February and is supported by the Royal Astronomical Society, British Astronomical Association, Federation of Astronomical Societies, and Society for Popular Astronomy.
