Auckland Trip Overview
We offer tours of the galaxy from the comfort of Earth.
We will see the actual planets, clusters, and nebulas in maximum resolution.
We identify & explore the origins of the major European and Māori legends and ponder how these shaped the world we experience today.
You will learn how to identify our major constellations, navigate using the stars, tell the difference between a star and a planet, a satellite and a UFO, a cloud and a galaxy.
We will also gaze for long enough to see the sky slowly shift on it’s axis towards the horizon.
Experiencing this phenomenon is the first step in conceptualizing Earth’s position in the Universe.
