IYA Sidewalk Astronomy

For 'Galilean Nights', an inititiative for the International Year of Astronomy, amateur and professional astronomers of Perth take to the streets so that  unsuspecting passers by can observe the wonders of the night sky first seen through a telescope by Galileo 400 years ago.

Out There! Exhibition

More than 500 science students from around the State got a privileged, behind-the-scenes introduction to the SKA project through the Out There! exhibition at The University of Western Australia in May this year.

Out There! featured an operational radio telescope, scale models of the SKA, a timeline ribbon highlighting what we can see now in space and how the SKA will enable astronomers to ‘look back in time' as well as Scitech's new portable Spacedome and a ‘World at Night' astrophotography display.
