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

Get your Ticket to the Universe, a tour through the cosmos at the Melbourne Planetarium!

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 so that they are better equipped to influence and create change. She is asking for your support to get there.

Join Dr Cat at the Melbourne Planetarium for a guided tour of the night sky above Melbourne and a trip to the edge of the observable universe and back. Discover which planets, stars and constellations can be seen from your backyard, and venture out to reach a far-away echo of the Big Bang.

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