Merseyside Astronomy Day

The MAD combines a series of talks by professional astrophysicists with the excitement and interest of a day-out at Spaceport. The talks are spread through the day with some time to explore the Centre, take in a "Dome Show", talk to fellow enthusiasts or simply admire the views of the stunning Liverpool skyline.
