Saturday November 28 is 'Astrofest', an astronomical extravaganza for the International Year of Astronomy. This event will take place at Curtin Stadium & Edinburgh Oval, and will feature a range of interesting and engaging activities for anyone and everyone to enjoy whether they're 'astro-nerds' or 'cosmic-newbies'.
Astrofest will have;
- Science shows
- Hands-on activities
- Rocketry
- Competitions
- Space Domes (inflatable planetariums)
...and even a ‘Moonwalker’ bungee ride!
Plus! Science talks given by local astronomers... stalls and displays from local societies, groups, organisations and Universities... an Astrophotography exhibition... daytime observing of the Sun, Moon and Jupiter with optical and radio telescopes. And that's just during the day!
Later in the day Professor Fred Watson of the Anglo-Australian Observatory will present ‘Pluto and the Ueber-nerds’ before we head out on to Edinburgh Oval for a look at the West Australian night sky through scopes of every shape and size imaginable.
