@SimonEllingsen @Sciences_UTAS Thanks Simon, couldn’t have done it without you 💐

[TastroFest Tasmania @TastroFest]

@JenniKlaus @inspiringaus Best Team Ever! It is just amazing when you get to work with people you aspire to be like. Our TastroFest extended family is one of the greatest resources of knowledge and support there is.
Thanks to each and everyone of you 🤗 💝 #didthisforyou

@norks @AerospaceCorp About to be airborne on route back to that trajectory 🤔 Don’t really want to intercept!

@norks @AstroKirsten @AboriginalAstro @karlie_moon_ @KrystalDeNapoli Have a look at the Orb Tasmanian Indigenous Resource page too!

[Karen Andrews MP @karenandrewsmp]

Dr Cathy Foley is a highly accomplished physicist with an undeniable passion for science. It was a pleasure to join PM @ScottMorrisonMP in announcing @DrCathyFoley as Australia’s next Chief Scientist, continuing the important work of Dr Alan Finkel when his term ends in December.

Did you like our radio astronomy series? Have a look at https://t.co/wSBIxRG8bs for @SimonEllingsen’s talks on the incredible work that @UTAS_ is doing in the field. Then head to their online open day and chat with Simon about getting involved 😃

[Simon Ellingsen @SimonEllingsen]

If you want to know about studying physics or science in general @UTAS_ you can talk to me, or one of my amazing colleagues at our #OpenDay Saturday or Sunday.

[TastroFest Tasmania @TastroFest]

@norks Amazing!!!

In space, things don’t always go to plan. Join NASA Space Flight Historian Scott Pooke as he talks problem solving with Apollo 13 (50th Anniversary), Apollo 17 Rover, Skylab, and STS 51-D

People don’t realise how busy giant research equipment is until they see footage like @norks and @markstickells 📡

[Mark Stickells @markstickells]

@norks @UTAS_ @TastroFest @Aus_ScienceWeek Great footage from Tasmania - here’s one I took last year at the Murchison Radioastronomy Observatory in WA’s midwest @CSIRO_ATNF #ASKAP
- all the best for @TastroFest! @Aus_ScienceWeek

[TastroFest Tasmania @TastroFest]

@markstickells @norks @UTAS_ @Aus_ScienceWeek @CSIRO_ATNF Wow 😳 How great is that Mark!! 😃

[TastroFest Tasmania @TastroFest]

Great time lapse Ben! @norks Very busy dish!! @sciencetasmania @SimonEllingsen @YTS_UTAS @JenniKlaus @drspacejunk @AusSpaceAgency

[Nicholas B. Glover @norks]

Quick little timelapse of the 26 m dish yesterday at @UTAS_ Mount Pleasant Radio Observatory here in southern #Tasmania for some content I’m producing for @TastroFest/@Aus_ScienceWeek.

[TastroFest Tasmania @TastroFest]

@norks @UTAS_ @Aus_ScienceWeek Brilliant!! 😃

[TastroFest Tasmania @TastroFest]

Beautiful detail...

[Nicholas B. Glover @norks]

I’ve had a pretty crappy year for artistic motivation, so nailing a shot I’ve chased since I moved to #Tasmania was a big step. The dust detail in the #MilkyWay is satisfying to see.
