As autumn settles over the UK, there is something quietly magical about stargazing. Crisp air and early darkness come hand in hand with familiar constellations. Cold nights might not sound inviting when you’re on the sofa, but with a thick coat, a flask, and someone to share the view with, they’re rather easy to fall in love with.
Those of us venturing outside this year will be rewarded with bright planets and dazzling meteor showers. Most events don’t need specialist equipment, just clear skies and a small amount of patience.
