Join Maropeng’s resident astronomer, Vincent Nettmann, for an informative dinner talk, illustrated with spectacular astrophotography images. How did the universe begin? What do stars have to do with our own origins on here on planet Earth? And what will our final fate be?
Next Events: 25 January | 22 February | 21 March 2020
A laser-guided tour of the southern skies will follow dinner if the weather allows. Be sure to make use of our large aperture telescope, also depending on the weather.
