The September 2025 night sky offers some of the year’s best stargazing in Broken Hill. After the early lunar eclipse on 8 September, the evenings grow darker and reveal stunning views of the Milky Way. Saturn shines at opposition around 21 September, while Venus and Jupiter dazzle in the pre-dawn sky. With New Moon on 22 September, it’s the perfect time to spot deep-sky objects and enjoy the pure outback night sky. Outback Astronomy sessions guide you to the highlights.

On 8 September 2025, Outback Astronomy in Broken Hill ran its first all-night total lunar eclipse event. With crystal-clear skies, guests watched the Moon darken and enjoyed rare views of the Andromeda Galaxy, the Pleiades and Saturn — sights usually washed out by a full Moon. The relaxed, social vibe ran through the night with warm drinks and a sunrise breakfast. This recap captures what it felt like to witness a total lunar eclipse under the big outback sky.
