A trip into one of the dark sky of Australia……the Warrumbungle Dark Sky Park: https://lnkd.in/g6j35uQv it is so amazing to experience both the art and science of astronomy of the beautiful southern hemisphere night sky in the cold nights where the conditions for telescope is optimal and the carefully selected site, for the Anglo-Australian Telescope - Siding Spring Onservatory, to allow us human to continue to look into the history of our universe. Did you know, the knowledge of astronomy is embedded in the ancient Law stories carried by Aboriginal people over vast periods of time. It is anchored by Australia’s long history in astronomy via First Nations people, who for at least 65,000 years have developed an intimate knowledge of the night sky. Over the last century, Australia has invested in world-class facilities, which have allowed prize-winning discoveries, and trained generations of students and research fellows in advanced scientific methodologies, including radio receivers and electronics, optical systems and instrumentation, data processing and advanced imaging methodologies. https://lnkd.in/gtUEgQPa
