Look what I caught on the all-sky camera up at Mount Stromlo ! Normally we see meteors, and at first I thought this was something alien, but now it looks like a visitor from the north! Merry Christmas everyone!

(1/2) Are you intending to visit the ACT Bushfire Memorial tomorrow? All parking will be at Stromlo Forest Park, walk or shuttle to the memorial. 18 January 2023 marks the 20th Anniversary of the 2003 Canberra Bushfires. An official ceremony will be held from 6:30 PM.

20 years ago, a bushfire struck Mount Stromlo It burnt many of the telescope, houses, and had a profound impact on us. We came back stronger than ever,. Here some reflections from Prof Penny Sackett, the director at the time, and Prof Brian Schmidt. youtube.com/watch?v=Kyu1Ol…

At this year's Astronomical Society of Australia meeting, Mount Stromlo astronomer Dr Sven Buder was the joint winner of the Louise Webster Prize for outstanding research by a scientist early in their post-doctoral career.

Sven’s research is based on the paper Buder et al. (2021) MNRAS, 506, 150, ‘The GALAH+ survey: third data release’ Former PhD student Piyush Sharda received the Charlene Heisler Prize for his PhD thesis “The role of metals from molecular clouds to galactic discs” as well!

Led by A/Prof Francis Bennet, we are constructing a laser optical communication station, a new telescope that will use lasers to send data to satellites and to the Moon. Under the Australian Space Agency's Moon to Mars Initiative, the team received $4.5 million to upgrade it.

It will make the ANU optical ground station work with NASA’s Optical to Orion mission, allowing for the sending of data to the Moon, the Orion capsule, and supporting NASA's Artemis missions. This will allow us to send data very fast to low-Earth orbit, the Moon, and beyond!

Congrats to Dr Aditi Vijayan, one of the researchers up here, for creating a totally awesome, and out-of-this-world science t-shirt!
