The Christmas Night Sky

Fri 02 Dec 2016 to Sat 24 Dec 2016

Stardome Observatory & Planetarium

Just for the month of December we are running a special edition of our presenter-led seasonal night sky show. The Christmas Night Sky show has all your favourite astronomical highlights but with added Christmas sugar and spice. Take a seat under Auckland’s largest snow globe and find out about the astronomical significance of the Christmas star, learn more about the Christmas tree in the sky and as always, pick up some astronomical knowledge to show off during the Christmas party season.

After the show you will get to look through courtyard telescopes if the weather is fine (included in the price of the show), or experience a special tour of the night sky through the Large Zeiss Telescope up in the dome.
