4HS: Uniform, Wide-area Spectroscopy for Low-z Galaxies Across the Southern Hemisphere.
Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the centre of the Milky Way: exploration and tests of general relativity.
The presence of a supermassive compact object was envisaged fairly quickly after the detection of the radio source Sagittarius A* at the centre of the Milky Way in 1974...
Magnetars: The magnetic monsters of the neutron star zoo.
First discovered over 45 years ago, Magnetars are a rare class of slow-spinning neutron stars that are thought to possess the strongest magnetic fields in the Universe.
Discovery potential in the era of Small Sats.
It’s never been easier to launch something into space. It’s never been cheaper to get a spacecraft. In this new era of space accessibility, the astronomical community has an exciting opportunity to advance space sciences through small payloads and telescopes on small sats.
Mount Stromlo Observatory in conjunction with the Canberra Astronomical Society invite you to attend our public observing nights of 2054. Come and see the craters of the moon, planets, and beautiful star clusters and nebulae. Object visibility will vary depending on the night.
