Saturn: A tale of two seasons In August this year, the Sun will shine directly onto Saturn's equator and then begin to illuminate the northern hemisphere for the first time in 16 years. The Cassini spacecraft, which has been orbiting Saturn for five years, will observe what effect the change of season will have on Saturn, as well as its rings and moons. Join us in the Bendigo Planetarium and find out what Cassini has already found and what we can expect to discover in the future. Show times: 11.30am and 1.30pm
Have you ever experienced zero gravity? While you're at Discovery don't forget to plummet down the southern hemisphere's tallest Vertical Slide. If you're a thrill seeker, the slide is definitely something that you will want to try! The Vertical Slide will be open at 11am, 1pm and 3pm daily.
