Launceston Planetarium: Beyond the Dome - Live astronomer talk

About

Join our QVMAG astronomers, Chris and Johnny, on a fascinating journey through the cosmos.

In this live talk series, we will explore a wide range of topics covering the science, stories and surprises of our Universe – from tides here on Earth through the nature of light and time to the large-scale structure of the Universe. We will also look at the question of life elsewhere and some of the misconceptions and conspiracy theories that abound on the fringes of the internet.

With each talk discussing a different celestial subject, this series is sure to inspire and reveal something new every time.

Each Planetarium show is followed by a live tour of the current night sky.

Please note:

The health and wellbeing of our visitors, employees and volunteers is our priority.

While face masks are no longer required, we do encourage mask wearing as extra protection in areas such as the Launceston Planetarium where visitors are unable to physically distance.

Feel free to bring your own mask. If you forget, don't worry, we've got you covered – simply ask our friendly team at the Information Desk.
