Mount Burnett Observatory volunteers will take over a football oval to run Footy Oval Astronomy − a free event for the local community and emergency services volunteers, bringing the wonders of astronomy to a wide audience, in person and online. Observatory telescopes will be on hand to show visitors the night sky and demonstrate that astronomy is accessible to everyone.

This will be complemented by: indoor activities including astronomy talks, computer simulations of the night sky and objects of interest, information on Indigenous astronomy, a live Facebook stream to allow questions and answers throughout the night, a live band, and food vans. The three-hour event will be broadcast via Facebook and on free-to-air television by Channel 31.
