Mount Stromlo Observatory is turning 100 this year »
Celebrate our 100th anniversary in 2024 with a variety of special events.
Event highlight: Mount Stromlo Observatory 100th Anniversary Symposium
The Rosella program, developed in partnership with home-grown and international industry groups, will deliver a quasi-commercial detector control solution configurable for use with most of the detectors used in space-based astronomy and remote sensing detectors.
Much mystery still surrounds Pluto and its moons. But in new research published in Nature Communications researchers announced they’ve found carbon dioxide and hydrogen peroxide on the surface of Pluto's largest moon, Charon.
In 2001, the first Mount Stromlo Student Seminars were convened. At the time, they were called the Christmas Student Seminars. The event was created as a space for graduate students to unwind and share their research. This tradition has been passed down to the incoming PhD student cohort for the past 23 years. This year was especially significant as it marked the 100th anniversary of Mount Stromlo Observatory; it was also the most well-attended seminar to date.

Mount Stromlo @100: Brian Schmidt with Annabel Crabb
In 1924, the Commonwealth Solar Observatory was established, which turned into the Commonwealth Observatory and then Mount Stromlo Observatory. From the first atlas of the Sun, to optical munitions, observations of Sputnik, measuring the size of the Universe, as well as finding lots of surprises along the way, Mount Stromlo has been at the forefront of astronomical discoveries.Join Mount Stromlo astronomer and Nobel Laureate in Physics Prof Brian Schmidt in conversation with ABC's Annabel Crabb on a journey through 100 years of Mount Stromlo Observatory.
