Once it’s dark find a comfortable spot outside. Lie back, relax with a blanket and watch the wonders above.
Most nights you can see shooting stars, the Southern Cross, satellites passing overhead, planets, the Milky Way and even other galaxies all with the naked eye. All that’s required is some clear weather and preferably not a full moon.
