Embark on a celestial journey with us as we unveil the latest addition to the Museum of Geraldton! 

In this captivating talk, Perth Observatory will share how our new Night Sky Camera is set to capture the wonders of the night sky.

Step behind the scenes as we delve into how our state-of-the-art camera is set to connect Geraldton with one of the largest citizen science projects in the world - the Global Meteor Network. 

See mesmerising data and imagery captured from our cosmic canvas above, and learn how each of us can play a role in unraveling the wonders of our solar system through citizen science. 


Perth Observatory's Night Sky Camera project has been made possible thanks to a generous 2023 STEM Grant from Inspiring WA, supported by the Department of Jobs, Tourism, Science and Industry and Scitech.
