Stonehenge is famous for its alignments with the sun, but did you know that the ancient monument may have also been carefully designed to align with the movements of the Moon? Visit the pop-up planetarium and embark on a journey through the solar system with an expert astronomer. In addition, learn how to identify celestial objects such as stars, planets, and the Moon and observe the night sky over the ancient stone circle.
2024 is a special year as an astronomical event called the Major Lunar Standstill, when moonrise and moonset are furthest apart along the horizon. It is believed that at least one major standstill was marked during the early phase of Stonehenge.
