Join us as we celebrate a decade of darkness in Eryri and become a Stardust Hunter! Every year, approximately 3,000 tons of cosmic dust fall to Earth. These extraterrestrial particles that survive the journey through our atmosphere and reach the ground are called micrometeorites. Join us at Yr Ysgwrn for a unique hunt to uncover these cosmic specks and help scientists learn more about our early Solar System!
