Milky Way Hangout
Saturday 5th September
Tuesday 8th September
Weather forecasting is not always simple in inland Australia. This short article explains why Outback Astronomy watches the bigger weather picture and recommends Phil Duncan’s WeatherWatchTV for plain-language climate and weather updates.
Since the NSW Land and Environment Court appeal, Outback Astronomy has begun consultation under the new Court-approved conditions and is now independently monitoring sky brightness at Receiver R2.
The spring night sky brings change to Broken Hill, with the Milky Way beginning to sink westward, Saturn climbing into the evening, and summer favourites preparing their return.
Could looking up at the night sky improve your wellbeing? Discover the science of awe, the rise of starbathing, and why Broken Hill is the perfect place to reconnect under the stars.
