Description
Seething Observatory is about 12 miles from Norwich on the B1332 (about 15 miles if you use the A146) and far enough away from the lights of the City to have dark skies suitable for stargazing from. If it’s been a while since you have looked up at the night sky away from streetlights, prepare to be surprised; on a clear night, the Milky Way (the light from billions of stars in our own galaxy) can be seen easily with the naked eye, as can (if you know there to look) our neighbouring galaxy, which is the Andromeda Galaxy, visible as a little smudge of light, of course, through a telescope, it looks completely different!
