Hang out with the Stars®
Enjoy stargazing in comfort.
Observe the dark, unobstructed outback sky in Broken Hill. This is a dark sky event hosted mainly during warm nights, from late spring through to early autumn in the southern hemisphere.
A sky guide provides live commentary, explaining the view. See the dimmest stars possible. Discover nearby galaxies, star clusters and nebulae. Events may feature special viewings, like planets, a rising moon, and sometimes comets. Be surprised by "shooting stars".
The telescope operator engages a variety of optical instruments to facilitate deep space views. However, it is naked eye views of the vast outback sky that creates the most memorable experience.
No astronomy or science knowledge is required. The commentary breaks down the complexity of space.
The sky guide is heard via a personal audio unit loaned to you on the night. Bring your own cabled 3.5mm ear phones or buy online at the time of booking. Outback Astronomy supplies binoculars, telescopes, live commentary, a variety of seating options, including upright and reclined chairs, as well as food and beverage options that can be selected when booking online.
