Outback Astronomy showcases the great Australian outback night sky for the entertainment and information of novice and experienced observers. It’s an astronomy experience offered in Broken Hill, far west NSW, Australia. Sky show attendees lie on a comfortable reclined camp lounge, armed with powerful binoculars. Star gazing is supported by real time commentary heard via your personal audio system (BYO ear phones). We share information about celestial objects in the sky on the night of your show, highlighting objects with a powerful laser pointer. It’s like taking a virtual galactic tour!

This is a wonderful place to get a good orientation of how to look at the night sky in a different way. The owners are casual and knowledgeable. Questions were encouraged and answered well to a level.... more »

Excellent and enjoyable night viewing the planets and stars, very informative and learnt a lot and my highlight was seeing Saturns rings through a telescope for the first time. more »

A relaxed and entertaining stroll through our sky. You helped explain the incomprehensible sizes and distances hanging over us as pinpricks. Lovely hosts. Thanks

Loved it! We had a large group and were treated to a BBQ and then we laid back in comfortable chairs, under the stars, whilst we were given a lesson in astronomy. Wonderful! ☺️
