Quiet Hour at Stardome: Sat 22 June, 9.45am

Stardome Observatory & Planetarium from Stardome Observatory & Planetarium

Quiet Hour returns at Stardome. This session offers a low-sensory environment tailored to accommodate individuals with autism or sensory and neurodiversity needs.

We modify both our planetarium and broader gallery spaces to provide a gentler sensory experience, including:

- A guided planetarium session exploring the night sky, led by a presenter
- Reduced volume levels
- Soft ambient lighting, with planetarium doors remaining open throughout the show
- A breakout space

Spaces are also strictly limited to 20 visitors per session.
Adults $10, Children/Students/Seniors $8. Carers go free when attending with a visitor with a disability. All ages welcome.

If you have any additional accessibility requirements or questions, please contact Stardome directly.

Latest scam - nationwide

The Team from New Zealand Police

Police are warning people to be on alert for the latest round of email scams referencing Police and other justice agencies.

The email claims authorities have done a search of the email recipient’s computer and located explicit illegal material.

The recipient is directed to reply within 72 hours, or a warrant will be issued for their arrest. This email is a scam and anyone who receives it should not reply under any circumstances.

Although some versions of the email do not specifically reference money, other similar scams involve the recipient being issued a ‘fine’ when they respond.

While the nature and specific details of scams often varies, it’s important to note that Police and other government agencies will never contact you out of the blue and ask for your password, credit card or bank details.

Police have received several reports of this scam and enquires are underway.

Anyone who received this email can either forward the spam email to the Department of Internal Affairs directly at complaint@spam.govt.nz or use their online reporting portal: www.reportspam.co.nz...

Police recommend taking a cautious approach to unsolicited emails. Trust your gut instinct - if it doesn’t feel right, it probably isn’t.

Information on other scams currently operating can be found on the Consumer Protection NZ website: www.consumerprotection.govt.nz...

Consumer Protection NZ, along with Netsafe, also provides helpful advice about keeping safe online.

Anyone who has received this email can report it to police online via www.police.govt.nz.... Please reference file number 240830/5842.
