Topic: Space/Astronomy in and around Liverpool?

[JoeCole]

Girlfriend's a big space nerd and I was looking on going some space/astronomy related places with her in a few weeks time. Aside from the Planetarium in the world museum and Spaceport in Wallasey, does anyone know of anywhere else nearby?

John Moores have their astrophysics unit on Brownlow Hill.  There's a lot and nothing at the same time though, from the outside (all you'd be able to see) it's just a building.

to be honest Jodrell Bank is your best bet for a space-based day.

Bids ton Observatory?

Not been in use for years as an observatory, not been in use at all for nearly anything bar some oceanography I think for a little while either.
