Once a month, beneath a dome of projected stars in Melbourne, the planetarium invites the public to pause and reckon with the scale of the universe. Astronomer Dr Tanya Hill leads the series, called Discover the Night Sky, guiding audiences through a different corner of space science each session — from distant exoplanets to forthcoming telescopes that will reshape what we know. It is a quiet but deliberate act of civic wonder: the belief that understanding the cosmos is not the province of specialists alone, but something any curious person can reach toward.
