Stardome's The Sky Tonight

Ever wondered about things you don't see beneath the sky? This August come to One Tree Hill Domain, Auckland Central between Tuesdays- Sundays. Join Stardome at 8pm for the Stardome’s most popular show where you’ll learn about the planets, stars and constellations that are visible in the August night sky.

Following the 40-minute tour through August’s night skies, Stardome presenters will give you some unique insights into the myths and misconceptions about the science of astronomy, space and everything in it and the space travel that has taken place to explore it.

Once you’ve heard fact separated from fiction the Stardome team will take you outside into the courtyard, and, weather permitting, spend time viewing the night sky through telescopes.

For an additional $10 on Thurs, Fri & Sat at 9.15pm, you can also view the night sky through the Edith Winstone-Blackwell Zeiss 0.5m telescope, if the night is clear. The Zeiss telescope is still one of the largest available for public viewing in New Zealand. This event is until the end of August 2009.
