Visit a working astronomical observatory and see the telescopes. Weather permitting there will be the opportunity to view interesting objects in the sky both looking through the telescopes and also using CCD imaging cameras.

(If the weather is bad, we will show you some pictures we took earlier!).

In addition to the observatory there will be a number of other activities that you may choose in the nearby Science Learning Centre. They include a variety of activities which typically include:

  • two different astronomy talks
