This event offers a unique opportunity to learn about the cosmos from expert astronomers and whether you're a seasoned stargazer or new to astronomy, it's a night not to be missed.

You will also be treated to a Dome show in our digital theatre, entry into the exhibition area and our Data Visualisation Laboratory.
