Stardome Observatory & Planetarium at One Tree Hill in Auckland, New Zealand

We woke up to rain on Sunday so it was a bit of a frustrating day cooped up in the apartment sitting it out. Lots more card playing and puzzles. In the evening we visited the Planetarium, based at One Tree Hill where they put on a show explaining our universe. The show was excellent, probably one of the best star gazing shows I’ve seen - even Junior S came away giving it the thumb up which speaks volumes in itself.




Pub quiz fact – one of the stars on Orion’s belt is in fact at nebula, another galaxy, an area which produces more stars.


The boys were waiting for some info on the Death Star or Darth Vador – but alas these fundamentals were not covered… maybe another day.
