Did you know that South Australia has some of the best skies in the world, even in suburbia? 🌃

Lots of people aren’t away how lucky we have it and how accessible astronomy is!

Our good friend and nightsky expert Kym, from SStargazing SAis holding a great info session at Pasadena Community Centre soon.

Make sure you jump on and reserve your ticket early! 🎟️

Stargazing SA will be giving a free Astronomy & Stargazing presentation at 5:30pm Thursday 30th July 2026 at the Pasadena Community Centre.

"Exploring the Universe from Your Backyard" by Dr Kym Thalassoudis
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 just their eyes, binoculars or a telescope. The presentation will introduce the unimaginable scale of the Universe and the many types of celestial objects and phenomena that sky watchers can observe. Dr Kym will also provide recommendations for binoculars and telescopes, and explain how affordable revolutionary Smart Telescopes are making the Universe accessible to more people than ever, even from light-polluted urban locations.
