Starlight and Stories of the Stars: Dr Cat’s Homeward Bound Fundraiser

Science communicator Dr Catriona Nguyen-Robertson needs your help to get to Antarctica. In return, she’ll show you the stars!

Dr Cat has been selected to participate in the Homeward Bound voyage to Antarctica, which aims to boost the leadership skills, visibility, and impact of women and non-binary people in STEMM.

Join Dr Cat at the Melbourne Planetarium for the film Starlight, which features stunning fulldome visualisations of being inside a supernova explosion and drifting through a stellar nursery, a rich gaseous nebula that is collapsing into stars. This will be followed by a guided tour of the night sky above Melbourne and a trip through the cosmos.

*Doors open at 4:00pm for a 4:30pm start.
