Kielder Observatory wouldn’t be what it is today without its expert, enthusiastic team. Due to continued success we are happy to say the team is getting bigger as we bring more talent on board, please take a look below to see everyone’s profiles. You’ll probably recognise some of us during your visit to the Observatory! In addition to the permanent team, we are grateful to our large team of volunteers and our casual staff who support our work.
