Lake Mac STEAM brings two stargazing events as part of Look to the Stars.

In MAP mima...

The Multi-Arts Pavilion, mima, has commissioned an artist to create a work on the theme of “Stargazing”.  The work will explore celestial phenomena, mythology, the wonder of the night sky, and our relationship with the cosmos through immersive digital media. 

MAP mima will be open for the exhibition viewing 5 to 9pm.
An exhibition launch and talk will occur at 6pm. Places are limited for the talk so please book your ticket.

In Speers Point Park...

Join the Newcastle Astronomical Society, as they point their telescopes to the sky above Lake Macquarie for a night of stargazing.

Learn how to navigate your way to the Milky Way and beyond, as the society members share their love, enthusiasm and knowledge of all things stars and the universe with you.

The star-gazing component of this event is weather-dependent. Please register your interest, and you will be notified via email if stargazing is cancelled or rescheduled

This is a free event open to people of all ages from 5 to 9:30 pm. Children must be accompanied by an adult. Please bring a torch to navigate the park after dark
