On Wednesday 23rd May 2018, we will be holding a ABC Stargazing Live Star Party where we will be taking part in a Guinness World Record attempt for the most stargazers looking at the moon for a period of 10 mins, over multiple locations. We will be showing live, the ABC’s Stargazing Live program over the course of the event so this will be a great learning experience not to mention a lot of fun.

The night will start at 7pm and is scheduled until 10pm, however I would say it would conclude about 9pm.

I have attached an E1 for anyone interested, however participants must also register online. Which can be done using this link.
