Join us next Wedesday evening at the #Geraldton foreshore for #SidewalkAstronomy! This is a free, family-friendly event - come on down to meet some astronomers and see the Universe through our telescopes - we'll see you there!
Explore just how big our Universe is with ICRAR's Dr Luke Davies at this year's Perth Observatory Summer Lecture.
This is a ticketed event run by Perth Observatory:

Back to school reminder: Applications for Stargirls+ Midwest close on February 14th! You'll need a letter of support from your school to participate, so ask your teachers as soon as you see them.
π The first trial of an @ICRAR@CSIRO@CurtinUni -developed technology has detected mysterious objects by sifting through signals from space like sand on a beach

How are we detecting strange space signals?π‘
Our engineers developed CRACO to 'sift' space data.
Its processing ability is as powerful as sifting through a whole beach to find one five-cent coin every minute. https://t.co/vm3ndvPwZZ
#Australia's CRACO #Technology, integrated with the ASKAP radio telescope, has identified #FastRadioBursts and neutron stars, enhancing astronomical research with unprecedented data processing capabilities. @icrar https://t.co/4vFVskQt3C https://t.co/dXQz52mNJH
New tech installed on @CSIRO's ASKAP radio telescope is helping astronomers at our @CurtinMedia node sift the sky for Fast Radio Bursts - some of the most mysterious events in the Universe. https://t.co/ioeydtfqDW
π Distant neutron stars typically spin a full 360 degrees within seconds. However, a new type of 'radio transient object' has emerged that rotate much more slowly, say

From everyone at ICRAR: we hope you have a safe and joyous antenna-decorating season!
Our offices at both UWA and Curtin will be closed until January 6 - we look forward to seeing you in 2025 to explore more of our Universe.
Enrolments for terms 2 and 4 2025 are now open for our Astronomy microcredential, Astrophysical Concepts. Explore the Universe and get a head start on a UWA degree with this fully online course: https://t.co/ZMH00SBhZ1
We're excited to share that Stargirls+ Midwest will be returning to Geraldton on February 25 & 26 2025! Stargirls+ is a two-day STEM camp for girls and gender diverse high school students interested in astronomy, engineering and data science. Apply now: https://t.co/YuJK5LzplC
Next Friday: Join us in Yagan Square for our final #SidewalkAstronomy of 2024! We'll be setting up our telescopes under the Digital Tower from 6:30pm on Friday, December 13 - come on down for a look at the summer sky. π
