#Perth #WA Need a bit of thrill in your life? We've teamed up again with Spacechameleon Adventure Co to allow people to abseil our Lowell Telescope Dome on Sunday the 7th of April. To book go to http://ow.ly/VUgb30kL9MK #perthnews #perthtodo #perthlife #perthhappenings #perthlife

#Perth #WA The setting up of the telescopes is well underway at @CurtinUni for #Astrofest this evening. It's a free event from 5:30 pm to 9:30 pm so come along and say hi #perthnews #perthhappenings #perthtodo #perthevents

#Perth #WA Did you know we have 28,000 astronomical glass plates at the Observatory? Glass plates were used before film to take photos and with part of our Lotterywest grant, we'll be digitising some of these plates for safekeeping and so we can do research on them. The grant will also help us store our historical paper-based records in safe storage. Read more about our effects here: http://ow.ly/QHRH30o1z0u #perthnews #space #spacenews #perthobservatory

#Perth #WA We've started to restore our Astrographic Telescope. This project is very important to WA's history as it WA's first research telescope and there aren't many Astrographic Telescopes left around the world, let alone with the original telescope, mount and dome all together. Read more about the project here: http://ow.ly/YwpT30o1wON #perthnews #space #spacenews #perthobservatory
