Star Gazing Astro-Adventure: Mapping the night sky

Discover the wonders of the universe at a special Science Week Stargazing Event where families, space enthusiasts, and curious minds are invited to explore the night sky with guidance from experienced astronomers from StarTracks Astro Events.

What’s Happening

Your evening begins with a fun and engaging Astronomy 101 presentation, featuring space videos, animations, and activities perfect for kids and adults alike. You’ll learn what to look for in the sky before heading outdoors to view celestial objects through high‑quality telescopes.

Once outside, enjoy a laser‑guided tour of the night sky as astronomers point out planets, stars, constellations, and other cosmic wonders. Guests will have plenty of time to look through the telescopes and ask questions as they explore the universe up close.

The event will still go ahead indoors with a full alternative program, including:

• Multi‑visual space presentations

• Hands‑on telescope demonstrations

• Solar system games and activities for children

• Mars Curiosity landing videos

• Fun space‑themed challenges like Toilets in Space

Whether you’re a seasoned stargazer or discovering astronomy for the first time, this Science Week celebration offers something for everyone. Come along, be inspired, and experience the magic of the night sky with your community.
