New Zealand

Last Updated: September 3rd, 2011

Below you will find links to a collegiate-based astronomy map of New Zealand. On the map, when you move your cursor over a symbol, information about that institution will pop up. If you click on the symbol, then a new browser tab or window will appear with the webpage of the featured department.

The 5 institutions on the map conduct astronomy research and/or teach at least one class devoted entirely to astronomy. The information which appears when you hover over a symbol includes the title of the university or college, the city in which the department resides, an estimate of the population of that city, and in square brackets, the New Zealand region containing that city. The Auckland symbols are deliberately offset from their true locations in the interest of clarity and clickability. The underlying geographical map was taken from Wikimedia Commons, and was authored by NordNordWest.

In order to view the map correctly, use a laptop or desktop with the latest version (as of August 1st, 2011) of Firefox, Chrome or Safari. This is likely to work. Other platform/browser combinations are unlikely to work.

I hope this map is useful!
