Physics and Astronomy

Portable Planetarium

Our brand new portable Planetarium is available, by arrangement, for groups of up to 45 people per session. The Planetarium gives you darkness in the daytime, simulating the appearance of the stars at night. You will observe the apparent movement of the stars due to the spin of the Earth and our movement around the Sun, travel through space, and see amazing astronomy movies that will blow you away! Presentations can be tailored to the interests and age of your groups.  For enquiries and bookings, please contact Duane Hamacher at duane.hamacher@mq.edu.au or (02) 9850 8671.

If you are a highschool teacher/principal and you are interested in the planetarium coming to your school, please contact the above email address or phone number.  The planetarium is a fantastic way to engage and interest students in science. 

The prices listed below are approximations and details of the number of sessions, session length and location will be needed to give a quote.

Bookings for 2011 are closed.  New bookings will commence next year (Feb 2012) as we are entering the holidays and are busy developing new planetarium programs.
