See the Universe with our table-top radio telescope

Join radio astronomers from the Square Kilometre Array Observatory (SKAO) and see the invisible Universe with the SKAO table-top radio telescope (TTRT).

A hands-on radio astronomy activity for all ages, our scientists will show you how they explore the secrets of the space and discover what’s hiding in the cosmos with a telescope that can look through clouds and see space while the sun is up. You’ll also learn how scientists use radio waves to discover distant galaxies, pulsars, and mysterious objects in the Universe.

This free, drop-in activity is open to all – don’t miss your chance to detect the Milky Way and be a radio astronomer for the day.

After the activity, make sure you visit Cosmic Echoes: A Shared Sky Indigenous Art Exhibition at the Museum of Geraldton to see artworks by Wajarri Yamaji artists from WA’s Mid-West and Khoi-San artists from South Africa.

About Cosmic Echoes 

Cosmic Echoes: A Shared Sky Indigenous Art Exhibition is a celebration of humanity’s ancient cultural wisdom and how it relates to modern science. Cosmic Echoes is a Square Kilometre Array Observatory (SKAO) initiative, in collaboration with SARAO, CSIRO and the Wajarri Yamaji Aboriginal Corporation, to bring together Indigenous artists living and working close to the SKA telescope sites in Australia and South Africa.
