If you have ever wanted to take part in a possible historic event or enjoy stargazing, the University of South Australia (UniSA) is holding an event at the Adelaide Planetarium on Wednesday 23 May 2018 to try and break the Guinness World Record for Most People Stargazing Across Multiple Venues.

The current holder of the record is the Australian National University, which had 7960 people accomplishing the feat across 37 locations. It involved participants stargazing at the Moon for a 10-minute period.



If you are interested you can click here to register for the event. There is no registration fee. Those who do not have a telescope or binoculars need not worry as there is an option that allows you to purchase a telescope, which you get to keep after the end of the event.

Aside from the world record breaking attempt, the event also includes a live screening of Stargazing Live with Brian Cox. Below are the details of the event:

6:30pm: Registration / Telescope collection

7:30pm: Stargazing Live broadcast starts (World Record attempt will take place between 7.30pm and 8.30pm)
