Women in Astronomy.
|
Many women were instrumental in radio astronomy and observational astronomy. Very few people have even heard of them. Includes Australian and overseas examples of these "unsung heroines". |
Slideshow: "The big bang to the end of the universe"
|
Peter has given this at a number of Motorhome rallies and is a favourite of many amateur astronomers. It talks about the birth of the universe, to the final crunch. |
Slideshow: "Peter's grand tour of the Cosmos"
|
This is another favourite of Motorhomers. Take a tour with Peter from our close neighbours - our sun, our moon and local planets. Follow the tour through the Keiper belt, through our galaxy (the Milky Way) and on to the edge of our universe. |
Slideshow: "The constellations of the Southern Hemisphere".
|
Peter talks about the constellations and how to recognise them tonight. |
