ASTRO 3D – Siding Spring Observatory

25 May 2021

Inside the observatory

Our Physics class were treated to an amazing opportunity to explore the Siding Spring Observatory complex, which included a tour of the AAT. The Physics crew explored the workings of the ridiculously big telescope, interrogated the telescope operators and spoke to onsite Astronomers. They also enjoyed the fabulous views of the Warrumbungle Nation Park from the catwalk! Two days of telescopes, cosmology and depth study activities, what more could you want?
