A typical daytime visit takes students on a tour around our site, showing them research buildings and telescope domes, while explaining the science done at Mount Stromlo over the past 100 years.

We talk about current science projects and our future plans.

The tour may include viewing the labs where instruments for the Giant Magellan Telescope are being built, our Laser Space Debris Telescope, a 250kg meteorite, Professor Brian Schmidt's Nobel Prize and more.

Students will have the opportunity to ask questions.

Depending on the length of a visit, students may participate in hands-on activities in the Visitor Centre.

A typical evening visit starts with a welcome by professional astronomers, followed by a behind-the-scenes tour of research buildings, viewing the labs where instruments for the Giant Magellan Telescope are being built, our Laser Space Debris Telescope, a 250kg meteorite, Professor Brian Schmidt's Nobel Prize and more.

A stargazing session using our outreach telescopes is followed by a Question & Answer session with astronomers.

Students may also participate in hands-on activities in the Visitor Centre.

Objects observed will depend on the scheduled date – in the event of cloudy weather stargazing will be substituted for other age-appropriate activities.
