For the first time since 1972 humanity is venturing out of our Earth's orbit! In a mission that's planned to last 10 days we're sending four brave souls further past the moon than we ever have before, and you (yes YOU) have the spectacular chance to come see the launch!
We're setting up to watch the event LIVE at 11:00am, Thursday the 2nd of April. So blast off and join us in Rehua 009 to watch history in the making!!!

Alternatively, if there are any complications (knock on wood), we'll set up a movie or just a good old catch up with like-minded individuals, either way we'll do our best to bring snacks (and you're welcome to bring your own too) and good vibes!

One night only, Our first telescope of the year is a big one folks!
Starting at 8:30pm on the 3rd of march, we'll be setting up our telescopes to watch the stars, then we'll be getting front row seats to the only lunar eclipse of 2026!
Starting at 9:45 and reaching its peak at 12:30 the moon will be cast into a deep crimson as it becomes completely shadowed by the earth!
Do NOT miss out on this one folks!!!
