Public Outreach Programme 2010
Luna Astronomical supports a very active Public Outreach Programme, which aims to go out into the wider community to talk about astronomy and related subjects, and to as many people as possible.
If you're a teacher, a scout leader or an organiser in need of an expert to help explain any aspect of astronomy or science in general, then please get in touch. If you're a member of a society or guild and looking for a speaker then maybe we can help.
If you want to know more then please get in touch via the Contact page.
