How have telescopes changed since William and Caroline Herschel stargazed from their home here in Bath? Our Front of House Manager Joe tells all!

Happy #InternationalDarkSkyWeek - the global celebration of the night! Our new astrophotography exhibition displays @bathastronomers.org.uk' images of space alongside drawings by William and John Herschel!

We’re still feeling starstruck after the preview of “Capturing the Cosmos” 🛰️

The new exhibition features nightscapes, lunar close-ups, and deep space photography by Bath’s amateur astronomers @bathastronomers.org.uk 🪐

Exhibition runs until 4 January 2026 📆 herschelmuseum.org.uk/current-exhi...

Artist Jess Wright has created an amazing scale model of our 7ft telescope! Our learning and engagement team will use this new model to show schools and community groups how the Herschel reflecting telescope works.
