✨ A rare and beautiful planetary pairing in our evening sky ✨In June 2026, two of the brightest planets in our sky, Venus and Jupiter, will appear incredibly close together in a stunning celestial alignment. ✨
Join Gold Coast Astronomy for this Special Sunday evening Event as we explore this striking planetary conjunction and what it reveals about the motion and scale of our Solar System.
Visible shortly after sunset 🌅, this rare pairing will shine brilliantly in the twilight sky, offering a perfect opportunity to witness planetary motion in real time... leading into a perfect dark-sky (moonless) night 🌌
During the evening, we’ll explore:
✨ Why planetary conjunctions occur
✨ The orbits and characteristics of Venus and Jupiter
✨ What this event tells us about our place in the Solar System
🔭 The night will include a guided tour and telescope viewing of all the visible wonders the Southern Celestial Hemisphere has to offer this June. ✨ From Planets 🪐 to star clusters, nebulae, and constellations, guests will experience the night sky as it unfolds above us.
💬 Our Public Astronomy Night events explore a specific topic and encourage interactive discussions around the everyday astronomical events we often take for granted, perfect for curious minds of all ages, from beginners to seasoned skywatchers 👨👩👧👦🔭.
☕ Complimentary tea, coffee, and hot chocolate 🫖☕🍫 will be provided throughout the night to keep you warm and comfortable under the stars ✨❄️.
✨ Gold Coast Astronomy also offers you the ability to relive your experience with: ⭐ A take-home star chart of the night ⭐ A summary of key visible celestial objects ⭐ An opportunity to capture your very own photos through one of our telescopes using your mobile phone 📷🤳🏼🌙
🎟️Tickets are now available to purchase via our website www.goldcoastastronomy.com.au or via EFTPOS on the night (if not SOLD OUT prior).
