SUMMARY:Introduction to Astronomy June 2025
DESCRIPTION:Stellar & Exoplanetary Spectroscopy\nLearning to Read the Light\nTonight\, you will learn how astronomers read the light from stars to measure their temperature\, composition\, rotation and much more\, plus the atmospheres of distant exoplanets.\nWe start by explaining how and why atoms absorb and emit light at specific wavelengths before discussing how a prism splits light into its various colours to determine a star’s many properties. This will include a demonstration of a prism and calculating our Sun’s surface temperature\, plus images and step-by-step analysis of spectra taken with a local amateur spectrograph. Our discussions will then delve deeper into measuring magnetic fields and surface gravity of stars using this simple technique\, before discussing the process and frustrations with analysing the atmospheres of planets beyond our solar system. \nCome along and see how you can take some of these measurements yourself. This session is for everyone\, from beginners to experienced members\, who want to learn more about reading the light from stars and other objects.

SUMMARY:Monthly Meeting June
DESCRIPTION:Matariki – Ngā Whetū o te Tau Hou / The Stars of the New Year \nJoin us at Stardome as we celebrate Matariki in 2025— a time of remembrance\, reflection\, and renewal under the rising stars of the Māori New Year. \nIn this immersive planetarium experience\, you’ll journey through the night sky to explore the Matariki star cluster and its importance in Aotearoa and te ao Māori. Discover the rich purākau (stories)\, science\, and traditions connected to each of the nine whetū\, learn about the Maramataka (the Māori lunar calendar)\, and reflect on how Matariki guides us through the cycles of the year along with many other significant stars. \nWhether you’re reconnecting with Matariki or experiencing it for the first time\, this show is a great way to honour the season and gain a deeper appreciation of Māori astronomy and our place within the cosmos. \nMānawatia a Matariki!
