| Event Name: | Exploring the Universe from your Backyard |
| Event Description: | Tuesday, 3 October 2023 6:30 PM - 8:00 PM Astronomy is the oldest and most accessible of the sciences. Anyone, young or not-so-young, can look up at the night sky and explore its many wonders using their eyes, binoculars or a telescope. The emergence of new technologies are enabling anyone to explore the depths of the Universe in amazing detail and in ways that have never before been possible, even from light-polluted environments. This presentation will include a brief introduction to the night sky and describe how anyone can easily find and enjoy observing a variety of celestial objects on any clear night. It will cover the basic types of binoculars and telescopes used by amateur astronomers, provide some recommendations on what to buy and what to avoid, and explain how revolutionary imaging technologies are making the Universe more accessible than ever, even from heavily light-polluted locations. The presentation will include stunning images of several celestial objects taken from an inner-Adelaide location. A brief telescope viewing may follow the session, weather depending. |
