ICRAR’s Mid West Star Trails

The International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research (ICRAR) has a mission: to bring regional communities in the Mid West closer to the cosmos with their initiative Mid West Star Trails.

ICRAR will hit the road for National Science Week in August, taking telescopes to Morawa, Yalgoo, Cue and Mount Magnet, thanks to an Inspiring WA grant.

Communities will be able to connect with experts and world-class telescopes to take a closer look at the galaxy.

“It’s about getting the opportunity to feel connected with space and with the night sky and be inspired by all the cool things that are out there,” says Leah Kalimeris, Interstellar Inspirer and Outreach and Engagement Coordinator at ICRAR.
