National Science Week brings science to the forefront in Australia with programs designed to excite and engage all people. When done right, science can be fun and understandable for all.

This year the Ballarat Municipal Observatory is exploring Space and how it surrounds everyone.

Learn about all sky astrophysics in Australia with screenings of Capturing the Cosmos. Walk around the historic site on a guided tour or experience all the observatory has to offer in a jam-packed evening session including a Science Week only presentation on the round objects in space, their rounded motions and how pi (the number not the food) is used in space related pursuits.

There's nothing quite like the Observatory in Ballarat.

All events require prior ticket booking. Don't miss out, get yours today.
