Big Sky Stargazing
Mount Cook is far from the city lights and therefore has some of
the darkest skies in New Zealand - perfect for viewing the night
sky!
Begin with an introduction and orientation in the Theatre
Planetarium using a special live Digital Sky presentation
highlighting unique features in our southern sky.
Our informative astronomy guides then take you on a
short drive (transport provided) to our outdoor stargazing site for
spectacular views of that southern sky. Using the naked eye,
high powered binoculars and state-of-the-art telescopes, you will
tour the Milky Way and beyond. Unleash your imagination as
you explore our neighborhood in the universe including the Southern
Cross, star clusters, planets, moons and distant galaxies.
