**UniSA Planetarium Experience

Date: 7 – 23 January 2020
Cost: $10 - $26
Ages: 3 years**



The University of South Australia, Mawson Lakes Campus is offering three fantastic planetarium experiences this school holidays for all ages.

The first experience is a one-hour planetarium experience with a full-dome movie. Movies range from Tycho to the Moon, Astronaut, Cosmic Collisions and Wildest Weather in the Solar System.

The second experience is the same as the first with a craft activity where children will either use playdoh (for 4 – 8 year olds) to learn more about the sun and planets while they create their own solar system or assemble and paint a model of the solar system while leaders go through each planet in detail (for 8 year olds).

For an optimum night experience, take a 90 minute full night sky tour with an astronomer. This tour will take you on a journey through the ever-changing constellations focussing on the positions of the planets, different galaxies, nebulae and star clusters. You will also see the full-dome movie and weather permitting, see objects through a professional telescope on the university grounds.

Bookings are essential, at the website .
