November 2023 - Victoria & Space
Studying the night sky has a very long history in Victoria, from First Peoples' use of the stars for meteorology, navigation, and story-telling, through to measuring dark matter in Stawell, and everything in between. This month we look at the ongoing work in Victoria to further understand everything beyond Earth’s atmosphere, as well as how our changing climate is affecting glaciers, ice sheets and cloud formation in the Southern Ocean.

Flying drones to track coastal erosion, building model solar vehicles, using DNA fingerprinting to detect secretive animals – science comes alive when you experience it with others in activities that are relevant and approachable. In this Community Engagement edition we show how science and technology can open the way to knowledge and solutions for the whole community.
We explore the great differences between the Indigenous and European view of the world. We have a need of Indigenous knowledge to heal our nation in many ways – to help counter the impact of climate change; to rescue our environment, both vegetation and wildlife; and to learn to live sustainably on our continent.
