#Perth #WA Our very own @matthewlwwoods was on #channel9perth this morning chatting to @genovesemichael about WA's #YarrabubaCrater being the oldest #crater in the #world, what astronomy events are coming up and the meteor that burned up over Perth last night at around 9:30 pm

#Perth #WA for those of you wondering what that train of bright objects flying over WA was Monday Morning (similar to the photo), they're SpaceX's #Starlink #satellites that will provide wireless internet around the world.

As of November 2019, SpaceX has deployed 122 of these satellites. They plan to deploy 60 more per launch, at a rate of one launch every two weeks beginning in November. In total, nearly 12,000 satellites will be deployed by the mid-2020s, with a possible later extension to 42,000. The initial 12,000 satellites are planned to orbit in three orbital shells: first placing approximately 1,600 in a 550-kilometre altitude shell, then approximately 2,800 Ku- and Ka-band spectrum satellites at 1,150 km and approximately 7,500 V-band satellites at 340 km. The commercial operation could begin as early as 2020.

#Perth #WA We and the @westaustralianopera are proud to partner for a bespoke event that will delight opera lovers and astronomers alike. On the 250th Anniversary of his voyage, join us under the stars to discover who Captain James Cook was, why the transit of Venus was important and to hear of his encounter with Tupaia, the star navigator.
This will be a perfect introduction to West Australian Opera’s world premiere opera concert Star Navigator, composed by Tim Finn, and you’ll also have the opportunity to enjoy the Perth Observatory Museum and participate in looking through the telescopes.
