Autumn Night Sky 2024
Event description
Earlier sunsets thanks thanks to returning to standard time and the longer nights mean we get to see Scorpio descending as we head toward winter.
Our ancestors knew this was the time to prepare for the cold months ahead and stock up with privisions, today we turn on the heat pump and order Dominos delivered. Much of our lives are now disconnected from the move of the stars, however in the planetarium we can take you back to enjoy the wonder sky both the practical and spiritual night sky.
We take you above the cloud deck to see exactly what is above your heads tonight. When you leave the planetarium you will be able to look up and recognise the Southern Cross and several other significant objects and follow in the ancestors understanding of the heavens.
