Capricorn Caves – Under the Stars Astronomy Night

Look up, WAY UP! 

Step away from the everyday and spend an evening exploring the wonders of the night sky at Capricorn Caves with adventurer and astronomer Dr John McGrath.

Using telescopes and John’s extensive knowledge of the night sky, you’ll journey through space and time to discover stars, planets, galaxies and star clusters, and learn how to find the centre of our own Milky Way.

You’ll discover how astronomers can look seconds, years and even centuries into the past, explore the meaning behind your Zodiac sign and tackle one of humanity’s biggest questions:

Is there life out there?

But there’s more to the stars than what we can see through a telescope. Discover how important reading the stars has been to Traditional Owners, including their use for navigation and everyday life, and learn how to recognise the increasing number of human-made objects travelling through space.

Designed for curious minds of all ages, ‘Under the Stars’ is part presentation, part stargazing experience and part journey into the unknown.

Come with warm clothes, a questioning mind and a sense of wonder.
