Buka amazulu avela ngaphansi kwe-Down Under: Inkanyezi ebheka e-Australia
John White Izithombe / Getty Izithombe Emadolobheni amakhulu, kunzima ukuthola indawo ethule ukuze ubuke esibhakabhakeni ebusuku, njengoba ukungcola kokukhanya nokukhanya kwomoya kungenza kube nzima ukudlula ezindaweni ezingakhiwe. Ngokuthakazelisayo, i-Australia inomhlabathi onabantu abaningi, ongcolile, okwenza ezinye zezinkanyezi ezinhle kakhulu emhlabeni.
Ngakho-ke ulinde ilanga liye phansi, thintana ne-astronomer yakho yangaphakathi bese uhlola izinketho zethu ze-stargazing esabekayo kakhulu e-Australia.
I-Earth Sanctuary, i-Alice Springs
Ngaphandle kokukhanya okungekho okufakelwayo, i-Central Australia iyinhlangano ebaluleke kakhulu; emva kokunyamalala izinkanyezi zikhanyayo ngeke udinga i-telescope ukuze uqonde ukuthi inkulu kangakanani indawo yonke. Kulabo abafuna ukwaziswa okwengeziwe, thatha i-Astronomy Tour ne-Earth Sanctuary. Leli hambo elincane leqembu linikeza lokho ababiza ngokuthi 'Swag Astronomy', okunye okubizwa ngokuthi ibhedi yokuzikhethela ukuze ukwazi ukulala futhi uthathe izinkanyezi ngaphandle kokufaka intamo yakho. Ngenkathi uthola ukhululekile, ukuqondiswa kohambo kuzokhomba ama-constellations, futhi utshele izindaba zendabuko zendabuko zendabuko.
I-Milroy Observatory, i-Coonabarabran, i-New South Wales
Idolobha elincanyana laseCoonabarabran - noma 'Coona' kubantu bakubo - liyikhaya le-Milroy Observatory, isibonakude esikhulu kunazo zonke sokufinyelela komphakathi esifundeni esiseningizimu. Njengoba ikhona indawo engu-460km ukusuka eSydney, umoya ophakeme wendawo, indawo ephezulu kanye nokungcoliswa okuphansi okuphansi kwenza iConona ibe indawo enhle yokubamba inkanyezi. Izivakashi zezinkanyezi zigijima njalo ngenxa kaCam Wylie, isazi sezinkanyezi esiphethe. I-Milroy Observatory ibuye ibe nezindlu eziyisithupha zokulala endlini, ngakho-ke iphelele kumaqembu nasemindenini.

Amazing / Getty Izithombe Charleville Cosmos Centre & Observatory, Charleville, Queensland
Kutholakala e-Outback Queensland, ku-745km ukusuka eBrisbane, i-Charleville Cosmos Center & Observatory inakho konke i-stargazer engayicela. Ngosuku, vakashela i-Information Zone bese ugcwalisa ikhanda lakho nge-trivia yesikhala ngaphambi kokubuka i- Journey -themed Journey ku-Infinity e-cinema kuphela e-Charleville. Ngobusuku, ubuke wonke uhlaka lwesophahla ukuze ubonise amakhokheni enamandla weCosmos Centre ngaphambi kokuthatha uhambo oluqondisiwe ukuze ubone amaplanethi nezinkanyezi ezineminyaka eyizinkulungwane zokukhanya.
I-Dish, iParkes, eNew South Wales
Kutholakala edolobheni laseParkes esifundeni saseNew South Wales, esingaba ngu-350km entshonalanga yeSydney, lesi simescope esikhulu somsakazo senziwa sidumile ngemafilimu ka-2001 iThe Dish . I-movie, eyayisemthethweni ngokusekelwe endabeni yeqiniso, yatshela indaba yendima ye-telescope ekudluliseni izithombe ezibukhoma ze-Apollo 11 ukufika konyaka ngo-1969. Nakuba kungekho ukufinyelela komphakathi kuthelevishini, Isikhungo Sovakashele sinolwazi oluningi mayelana nomsakazo i-astronomy, kanye ne-3D yaseshashalazini kanye namaqiniso angenamkhawulo emkhathini.

John White Izithombe / Getty Izithombe I-Perth Observatory, e-Bickley, e-Western Australia
I-Australian's endestatory, i-Perth Observatory isendaweni engama-25km empumalanga yePerth, ngakho-ke ungathola inkanyezi encane ye-stargazing eduze kwedolobha. Ukuhambela ebusuku kugijima unyaka wonke, futhi kukunika ukufinyelela kokubukeka okungaqondakali kwesibhakabhaka ebusuku ngokusebenzisa izibonakaliso ze-Observatory. Ungaphinde upheqa i-museum, okuyinto engcebweni yombhalo wezinkanyezi ovuthayo. Kukhona nezinkambo zomusi we-museum, i-astrophography gallery kanye nombukiso we-meteor.
IMagellan Observatory neRural Retreat, iLake Bathurst, eNew South Wales
Vula kuphela izivakashi, i-Magellan Observatory ne-Rural Retreat iyiphupho lomfundi wezinkanyezi owaziwayo noma owaziwayo. Ihora elilula lamahora amabili nengxenye ehamba eningizimu yeSydney, i-retreat izokulimaza phakathi nosuku indawo enhle yasemaphandleni, kodwa isenzo sangempela siqala lapho ilanga libeka. Ngamehlo angaboni, ukubukwa kwesibhakabhaka ebusuku kubomangalisayo, kodwa thatha SkyTour futhi uhlole izinkanyezi namaplanethi nge-telescope yabo engu-24 intshi. Kulabo abanokuhlangenwe nakho okuncane, basebenzise imishini ye-astrophotography kanye nama-telescopes elanga futhi bamangaliswe ama-solar kanye nezindawo zelanga.
