Join a free Star Party in your area and help us smash a world record!

On Wednesday 23rd May people all around Australia will be gathering at local parks, beaches, observatories and schools to break the Guinness World Record attempt for the Most people stargazing - multiple venues.

The current World Record, set in 2015 by the Australian National University, is 7,960 people across 37 locations. In partnership with the ANU, we are aiming to set a new record so large that it will be difficult to break again, but we need your help to achieve this!

Sign up for a free ticket from our list of public Star Parties and get set for an evening under the stars with your friends and family.
