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.
Australian-led GALAH project releases the chemical fingerprints for almost 1,000,000 stars on the 50th birthday of the AAT, Australia’s largest optical telescope.
Australian scientists have released data from a massive, stellar mapping survey that has analysed nearly 1 million stars in the Milky Way. The data will form the basis for decades of research into the origins and development of our galaxy, as well as providing a valuable training set for the next generation of huge artificial intelligence-driven astronomical surveys.
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.
