It's easy to slip out of sun protection habits in winter, despite UV and temperature not being directly correlated. Australia has one of the highest annual UV indexes. We're 4th in the world! This is why it's important to maintain awareness of UV and our own habits at all times.

#OnThisDay July 20, 1969 🚀 Apollo 11 made history as humans first walked on the Moon🌕. But behind the scenes, astronauts had to deal with space radiation. Radiation is part of our universe, from deep outer space to ancient rocks on Earth and life-saving technology in hospitals.

Our team regularly conducts monitoring in the unlikely event of radiation release during nuclear-powered warship visits. There has not been a radiation incident in the 65 years that vessels have been visiting Australian shores. Learn more: arpansa.gov.au/research/radia…
