Our Goal

With science having a greater impact on today’s younger generation, it is vital that the subjects of astronomy and space exploration are not left standing. With this in mind, York Young Astronomers was initially conceived in late-2025 with a view to encouraging the participation of the younger generation of the York area in the world of astronomy and space exploration.

By inspiring and educating the next generation, we will invite the young astronomers of York not just to take part in the activities of the society but eventually, should they so wish, to play an active role in how the society is run.

The first meeting of York Young Astronomers will take place in September 2026 at Beetle Bank Farm, Moor Lane, Murton, York, YO19 5XD, when the audience will be entertained by Brad Gibson who will tell us all about The 10 Coolest Things in Outer Space. More details about the event will be announced here in due course . . . so, watch this space . . .
