Overview
Flowers, stars and mulled wine will collide when astronomy comes to The Calyx in the Royal Botanic Garden. On arriving at this brand new event, you'll be handed a glass, then invited to kick back, relax and listen to Dr Angel Lopez Sanchez chat about the night skies.
Dr Lopez Sanchez is an astronomy research fellow and a science communicator at the Australian Astronomical Observatory and Macquarie University. Surrounded by the garden's botanic surrounds, he'll bring you a whole new perspective on familiar constellations and show you how to find those that are not-so-familiar. Learn to locate the Jewel Box within the Southern Cross, bright nebulae within Sagittarius and Omega Centauri, a globular cluster.
Your ticket — a wildly reasonable $15 — includes one complimentary mulled wine or cider. Further drinks and snacks will be available at the bar.
