Matariki Night Glow - Stargazing Opportunity - Friday, 5 July 2024

Sharon from Karori

The Wellington Astronomical Society is joining us at Matariki Night Glow for anyone interested in stars, planets or topics relating to astronomy.

The team will be bringing their telescopes to Ben Burn Park where you can lie back on the grass and look at the stars in the beautiful night sky!

On Friday, 5 July you will be able to view double stars and star clusters (as unfortunately the planets are only viewable in the morning at the moment). The team will also be happy to answer any astronomy related questions.

If you are interested in joining the Wellington Astronomical Society, memberships are available for beginners and experienced astronomers from a diverse range of age groups and professions.

The aim is to let people enjoy astronomy through a friendly and helpful atmosphere. All their meetings and events are free and open to anyone to attend, and they hold a number of public outreach events and provide a free telescope observing service to schools and community groups.

DATE: Friday, 5 July 2024
TIME: 5pm - 8pm
LOCATION: Ben Burn Park, Karori, Wellington

Poll: Is it rude to talk on the phone on a bus?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Buses can be a relaxing way to get home if you have a seat and enough space. However, it can be off-putting when someone is taking a phone call next to you.

Do you think it's inconsiderate for people to have lengthy phone calls on a bus? Vote in the poll, and add your comments below.
