ICRAR

@ChiefSciWA @uwanews Thank you for taking the time to visit. We look forward to seeing you again soon!

I had the pleasure of visiting @ICRAR at @uwanews last week. It was inspiring to explore their world-class research and discuss how it is driving excellence, translation, and economic diversification in #WesternAustralia. #research #Astronomy #STEM #Collaboration

TONIGHT: Join us from 6pm at the #Geraldton foreshore for #SidewalkAstronomy! This is a free, family-friendly event - come on down to meet some astronomers and see the Universe through our telescopes.

Join us next Wedesday evening at the #Geraldton foreshore for #SidewalkAstronomy! This is a free, family-friendly event - come on down to meet some astronomers and see the Universe through our telescopes - we'll see you there!

Explore just how big our Universe is with ICRAR's Dr Luke Davies at this year's Perth Observatory Summer Lecture. This is a ticketed event run by Perth Observatory: perthobservatory.com.au/shop/events/su…

🌌#UWA was excited to learn husband-and-wife team @FiPanther and @DRG_physics will be centre stage in @perthfest performance 12 Last Songs. 🎭 @ForrestResearch @ICRAR Read more 🔽 uwa.au/fmfy05

Back to school reminder: Applications for Stargirls+ Midwest close on February 14th! You'll need a letter of support from your school to participate, so ask your teachers as soon as you see them.

🌌 The first trial of an @ICRAR @CSIRO @CurtinUni -developed technology has detected mysterious objects by sifting through signals from space like sand on a beach buff.ly/4aHTt63

How are we detecting strange space signals?📡 Our engineers developed CRACO to 'sift' space data. Its processing ability is as powerful as sifting through a whole beach to find one five-cent coin every minute. csiro.au/en/news/All/Ne…

#Australia's CRACO #Technology, integrated with the ASKAP radio telescope, has identified #FastRadioBursts and neutron stars, enhancing astronomical research with unprecedented data processing capabilities. @icrar doi.org/g826n2 phys.org/news/2025-01-a…

New tech installed on @CSIRO's ASKAP radio telescope is helping astronomers at our @CurtinMedia node sift the sky for Fast Radio Bursts - some of the most mysterious events in the Universe. icrar.org/craco

🌌 Distant neutron stars typically spin a full 360 degrees within seconds. However, a new type of 'radio transient object' has emerged that rotate much more slowly, say @Sydney_Uni @CSIRO @ICRAR @CurtinUni @Swinburne buff.ly/3PDjiKU

With talent like this, every fest is an Astrofest! Here's where you can see ICRAR researchers this summer festival season.

From everyone at ICRAR: we hope you have a safe and joyous antenna-decorating season! Our offices at both UWA and Curtin will be closed until January 6 - we look forward to seeing you in 2025 to explore more of our Universe.

Enrolments for terms 2 and 4 2025 are now open for our Astronomy microcredential, Astrophysical Concepts. Explore the Universe and get a head start on a UWA degree with this fully online course: icrar.org/astrm402

We're excited to share that Stargirls+ Midwest will be returning to Geraldton on February 25 & 26 2025! Stargirls+ is a two-day STEM camp for girls and gender diverse high school students interested in astronomy, engineering and data science. Apply now: icrar.org/stargirls-midw…

Join us in Yagan Square TONIGHT for our final #SidewalkAstronomy of 2024! icrar.org/events/swaxmas…

Join us in Yagan Square tomorrow night for our final #SidewalkAstronomy of 2024! icrar.org/events/swaxmas…

Next Friday: Join us in Yagan Square for our final #SidewalkAstronomy of 2024! We'll be setting up our telescopes under the Digital Tower from 6:30pm on Friday, December 13 - come on down for a look at the summer sky. 🌌

We're thrilled to announce Tyrone O'Doherty and Andrei Ristea as the winners of the 2024 Ken & Julie Michael Prize. icrar.org/kjm2024/
