Planetarium Night: Worlds of Ice + What’s in the Sky Tonight

Let’s spend a Friday evening at Planetarium Nights at Scienceworks.

We’ll be watching the 7:30pm session: Worlds of Ice (33 min) + What’s in the Sky Tonight.

Worlds of Ice takes us on a journey through icy worlds, from the Arctic and South Pole to the far reaches of the solar system. It explores ice through science, astronomy, climate, oceans, culture, and our changing planet.

The session also includes What’s in the Sky Tonight, a presenter-led tour through the current night sky.

We’ll meet at 7:00pm outside the Melbourne Planetarium entrance gates so we have time to say hello, find the group, and head in before the session starts at 7:30pm.

This is a ticketed event, so please book your own ticket in advance. Meetup RSVP does not include entry.

• Astronomy, planets, space, climate, and science
