Join Scienceworks’ popular Planetarium Nights programs to explore rare and rarely seen events such as a total solar eclipse, supernovae, and gravitational waves. Astronomers have a strange relationship with the idea of ‘rare’; something we seldom see on Earth may be commonplace at a universal scale. Museums Victoria astronomer Dr Tanya Hill has carefully curated a special…

The Universe has spoken and we have understood. David Blair, astrophysicist and LIGO and OzGrav collaboration member. Particle/Wave is an immersive multimedia exploration of gravitational waves at the point where poetry, video art, music and science intersect. First observed in 2015, gravitational waves are ripples in space-time, traveling away from exploding stars, merging black holes and other…
This National Science Week, join NASA exobiologist Dr Darlene Lim for an illuminating experience about science in extreme environments. Hear about how exploring extreme environments on Earth can give us insights into conditions that human explorers might face on Mars or other planets. Event includes a special presentation by Dr Darlene Lim, planetarium screening ($5…

LAUNCH TO THE FUTURE is a science sketch comedy presentation focusing on how space programs and lunar science propel us into the future using STEM! In a series of comical skits, professional actor/educators use audience suggestions to create uniquely hilarious scenes educating us about space science. LAUNCH TO THE FUTURE! A STEM Story is…
Saturday 20 July, 2019 marks the 50th anniversary of the first time humans walked on the Moon.
This remarkable event was a watershed in human history and a technological achievement of astounding proportions: the mission went to the Moon and back with less computing power than a modern smart phone.
Celebrate this feat of human ambition and ingenuity with our special event featuring expert talks, Planetarium shows, VR experiences of the ISS, an Apollo 11 photography exhibition, telescope viewing (weather permitting) and more.
Scienceworks comes alive after-hours for AstroLight Festival with special guests from the European Space Agency and Australia's space industry, fun science activities for all ages, and a whole field full of telescopes for stargazing!
