What’s the lowdown on the SKA-Low? Find out in a night of astronomical discussions!

Geraldton is the gateway to one of the most ambitious science projects ever conceived – the SKA Observatory, or SKAO.

It is a mega-science facility with two radio telescopes being built in Australia and South Africa.

One of these telescopes – SKA-Low – will comprise more than 130,000 metal antennas and is being built right here at Inyarrimanha Ilgari Bundara, the CSIRO Murchison Radio-astronomy Observatory on Wajarri Country.

The SKAO telescopes, in Australia and South Africa, will revolutionise our understanding of the Universe. But the technology being developed – from engineering to supercomputing – promises to deliver global innovations that we haven’t even begun to imagine while putting the Mid West on the world stage.

Join us for a night of astronomy as we share the latest SKA updates, take a peek at the (visible) Universe with the help of our friendly astronomers with some optical telescopes, and enjoy some refreshments as we celebrate National Science Week in this public talk!
