School Holiday Kids Astronomy
Programs
January 2013
Kids Fun Day - Wednesday 23 January (10 am – 12
noon)
Don’t know what to do with the kids? Come along and
watch a 3D astronomy movie, water rockets being
launched or safely do some sunspotting through the
University’s computerised telescopes.
Family Astronomy Night - Saturday 26
January (8pm – 10 pm)
Navigating to Australia - Why and how did
Europeans get to Australia? It’s all to do with
Astronomy. The Sun, planets, and stars were a vital
part of the story that brought Captain Cook to this
country – in particular, the twice-in-a-lifetime
phenomenon of the Transit of Venus. The night will
also include a 3D astronomy movie and viewing of the
night sky through the University’s 0.6 metre and 0.25
telescopes. Our program will run regardless of the
weather.
Cost: $15 adult, $10
child/concession and $40 family.
Bookings are essential: Book online:
