"Norville" is the place to see the stars.

As there are no brightly-lit cities or large towns nearby, the night skies are clear and dark, and it is amazing the number of stars visible to us here.

Peter has taken lots of “moon” photos, and has painted many “Window to the Stars” paintings (see the gallery link)

Did you know - we can see the planet Venus in broad daylight with the naked eye? True!

Venus runs an orbit around the Sun inside of Earth's orbit. When Venus steps out away from the Sun she becomes visible to us with the naked eye in broad daylight but one needs to know how and where to find her.

Did you know - If we go to the other side of our own solar system, we find Pluto.

Earth orbits our Sun in approximately 365 Earth days, but Pluto has such an incredibly larger orbit. Pluto's orbit is so huge, she has yet to make one complete orbit of the Sun since the First Fleet arrived in Australia.

Peter sold his telescope and bought the biggest binoculars he could find, 30x125.  They are over 2 feet long and weigh 11kgs.

Telescopes only allow you to see with one eye but he didn’t want to miss anything, so he must use both eyes.

In search of the answers to that 3-part question.....

•  Where did we come from?
•  What are we doing here?
•  ... and where do we go to when we die?
