Celebrate the start of Matariki by coming down to the Wellington waterfront pre-dawn and see the planets Pareārau (Saturn), Matawhero (Mars), Hine-i-tīweka/Pareārau (Jupiter), te Marama (the Moon), and Matariki (Pleiades) in our skies. If you want to gaze in wonder at Saturn and its rings, Jupiter and its Galilean moons, the craters on the Moon, look through our amazing telescopes! We can show you where to find Matariki too, but binos at better so if you have a pair bring them along. The event is child friendly and free!
Please note we will postpone the event to Saturday if the weather is uncooperative.
