Cosmos Centre
Charlville's spectacular clear night sky, unaffected by the lights and pollution which cover the stars in city areas, is the focus of the Charleville Cosmos Centre.
Astronomy by Day - During the day you have a number of activities to enjoy. Hold meteorites from space in your hand, find out what the ancient Astronomers believed and learn how time, light and gravity fit together. 'Journey to Infinity' in the Cosmos Theatre. Find out whatever happened to PLUTO! Find out your age and weight on other planets!
The Cosmos Cafe is open and Astronomical Souvenirs available. (ALLOW 1.5-2HOURS)
Astronomy by Night - The evening presentation at the Cosmos Centre is a delight. Take a tour with an experienced guide of the Outback Night Sky through powerful Meade Telescopes. See such things as star clusters, planets, nebulae and learn about the Milky Way and how we fit into the Solar System.
