A panel discussion about aurorae alongside scientists, photographers and the artist behind the Borealis installation.

About

Come along to the Royal Observatory Greenwich on Saturday 28th August to hear from the artist behind the Borealis installation, Dan Acher, as well as a panel of astronomers, aurora astrophotographers and judges from the Astronomy Photographer of the Year competition. With their unique backgrounds and perspectives, the panel will discuss aurorae from art to photography and even aurorae on other planets in our solar system.

The event will take place at Peter Harrison Planetarium at the Royal Observatory Greenwich. Afterwards, the audience can take a short walk from Greenwich Park to the Old Royal Naval College to check out the Borealis installation themselves and get a glimpse of an aurora over London. All attendees will be given wristbands to see Borealis at 8.30pm.

Suitable for ages 16+

* The art installation Borealis will be shining over the Old Royal Naval College from 27th August to 5th September. Inspired by the Northern Lights, the installation will create an artificial aurora in London.
