Western Australia’s dark skies: A stargazer's paradise
Western Australia’s vast, clear skies offer some of the best stargazing opportunities on Earth.
From the Milky Way stretching overhead to comets, meteor showers, constellations, and lunar eclipses, WA is a dream destination for astrophotographers. With wide horizons and ideal viewing conditions, the state also provided front-row seats to the spectacular Total Solar Eclipse in April 2023.
Join Dr John Goldsmith, astrophotographer and researcher at Celestial Visions, as he shares breathtaking images of the cosmos captured over 35 years across WA’s stunning landscapes. Discover how ethical, collaborative astrophotography can reveal not only the universe above - but also our deep connection to it here on Earth.
