Earth Hour at Sydney Observatory

Each year, cities around the world switch off their lights to advocate for climate change action during Earth Hour. Much of Sydney will be powering down on March 30, and you can make the most of the black out by heading to this evening of talks and stargazing at the Sydney Observatory.

It’ll be a fabulous opportunity to peer through their powerful telescopes and gaze at the constellations, as there will be minimal light pollution from the humans below. In addition to seeking out stars, you’ll also hear from environmental experts in a series of climate talks, and be able to take part in some family-friendly activities.

The evening will kick off at 7.30pm, with the Observatory and the rest of Sydney’s Earth Hour participants going dark at 8.30pm.
