Expect an evening filled with space science. When stars are visible, we stargaze. When they are not, we entertain you with an e-astronomy experience. - Stargazing: We meet you on arrival. Then, grab a blanket or jacket through our reception area. The telescope viewing area is 25 meters away, tucked inside our Moon Garden. We spend the next 60–90 minutes viewing the fantastic deep-sky objects of the Southern Sky with our powerful telescopes. You have non-stop Q&A opportunities with an astrophysicist (Sam) and an astrobiologist (Hari). • Up to 10 people groups. • With 3-4 telescopes available, you will get plenty of telescope time: • See the Milky Way • Wish on a shooting star (or many) • Catch the ISS when it passes overhead or any of those satellites • Use astronomy binoculars. Both of us are licensed to operate a laser pointer. - E-astronomy: Tour the Universe with our state-of-the-art planetarium software and explore the Solar System in virtual reality. We have a unique collection of astrobiology-relevant rocks from across New Zealand. They are relevant to the search for life on Mars, of which we are part. Enjoy a complimentary hot drink - a well-established tradition.
