This evening’s tour with adventurer and astronomer Dr John McGrath is an exciting one!
Early in the evening the Moon will pass in front of Saturn for nearly an hour. Watch Saturn disappear behind the Moon and then reappear! This will be the perfect occasion to see Saturn before the rings vanish in 2025. And looking at the craters and mountain ranges of the Moon is super cool.
After the excitement we’ll take a journey through the rest of the night skies. This engaging presentation is kid and big kid friendly alike, just bring your curious mind! Learn how to look seconds, years, even centuries back in time and see stars so big they would swallow the earth if we were around them.
John will show you gatherings of stars, sister galaxies, how to find the centre of our own galaxy, the meaning of your Zodiac sign, even a planet or two. We’ll even tackle the age old question… is there life out there?
Be surprised how important reading the stars was for the daily life of Traditional Owners. Learn useful skills like navigating with the stars and recognising the increasing number of man-made objects in space.
Please note this event is weather dependent. In the event of poor weather, all tickets will be either refunded or rescheduled to another night.
