The Night Sky – Family Programming

Join us at the Space Centre on January 29th (in the evening) or 31st (in the daytime)! Discover more about observational astronomy (the recording of data from the observable universe) and learn more about what you can see in the night sky when stargazing in your own backyard.

During your 60 minute visit you will have 30 minutes to explore the exhibits in our Cosmic Courtyard Gallery and learn about a fun craft to make at home. The other 30 minutes will be spent in our Observatory with a tour of our ½ metre Cassegrain telescope and a 15 minute presentation about different types of light.
