The Carter Observatory, Exhibition, Wellington.
The Carter Observatory stands at the top of the Botanic Gardens in Wellington, New Zealand. It re-opened in March 2010 following a NZ$5 million refurbishment, with a new exhibition and digital planetarium celebrating the culture, heritage and science of the Southern Skies.
The Carter Observatory houses two main telescopes within its main building and a third telescope nearby. The Thomas Cooke telescope, a historic 93⁄4-inch Cooke Refractor named after Thomas Cooke, serves primarily for public observing sessions.
The Exhibit
The interactive exhibition begins with the story of Space, Time and Matter - the sheer scale of the Universe, the Big Bang, and an interpretation of how our world began. You'll also hear the Māori story of creation, experience a gravity well and examine the possibility of life on other planets!
Travel through Carter's very own Black Hole into our Solar System. You will learn all about the planets that surround us, New Zealand's astronomy community and our Southern Skies. You can even handle an actual space rock, encounter an interactive digital solar system, Launch Rockets on Video, watch video stories and learn at your own pace.
Matariki and the role of the stars in Māori New Year is explained, alongside Polynesian and Māori astronavigation. Become absorbed in the journey of Māori from Hawaii to Aotearoa New Zealand, and learn how Maui caught the Sun.
European aspects of early navigation, particularly the astronomical aspects of Captain Cook's visits, including early time keeping and astronomy in New Zealand are displayed in our stunning library that also houses a treasure trove of books and materials from across centuries and around the world.

The Carter Observatory became New Zealand's National Observatory in 1977. In recent years, its role shifted from a focus on research to increasingly concentrate on public education about space.
Historic telescope goes to Space Place
Space Place at Carter Observatory are now the proud owners of one of New Zealand’s oldest telescope once owned by the legendary Peter Read. We would like to say a big thank you to Peter’s son Adam, who came to Wellington from Sydney to officially make this generous donation.
