Extreme Space

Visit the Ballarat Observatory During the Spring School Holidays or during World Space Week and learn about the extremes of space. Each Session is run by astronomers from the Ballaarat Astronomical Society who love to talk all things astronomy related. Bookings are required for each session.

Families with children aged 5 to 10 years will love the astrokids sessions with hands on experiences and a talk: having fun while learning about the extremes of the universe – the hot and the cold, the big and the small and more.

Evening Sessions will also be running. Evening sessions include a tour of the observatory, the AstroTour movie Extreme Places in 2D, a site tour and viewing at the telescopes. In case of cloudy weather, viewing at the telescopes will be replaced by a virtual sky tour. Alternatively, a raincheck can be arranged.
