What is the dark energy that’s accelerating the Universe? Discovered a quarter of a century ago, it’s a feature of our Universe that appears to have some sort of anti-gravity property. Now astronomers have zeroed in on how it’s changed over the last 10 billion years. Using thousands of supernovae and millions of galaxies they’ve mapped the cosmos and discovered to their surprise that dark energy may be changing with time. This talk will describe the many varied ways in which astronomers are measuring the dark side of the Universe, and get you up to date on the recent exciting results.
In 1924, the Commonwealth Solar Observatory was established on Mount Stromlo. Today, Mount Stromlo Observatory is the headquarters of the ANU Research School of Astronomy and Astrophysics, and for 100 years, has been a world-renowned community of researchers exploring the heavens.
Join us at Wildbark for an amazing series of Stargazing nights! Wildbark and Mount Stromlo Observatory have partnered up to bring you a follow up stargazing night after our public nights up here. With the help of the Canberra Astronomical Society, there will be plenty to see in the sky
Mount Stromlo Observatory in conjunction with the Canberra Astronomical Society invite you to attend our public observing nights of 2024. Come and see the craters of the moon, planets, and beautiful star clusters and nebulae. Object visibility will vary depending on the night.
