Until recently, the Universe's gas filaments have been elusive. But now one was detected with our ASKAP radio telescope.
We recently detected the signature of fierce space weather from Proxima Cen, which implies an orbiting planet could be blasted with hazardous particles and magnetic fields.
Astronomers have mapped about a million previously undiscovered galaxies beyond the Milky Way, in the most detailed survey of the southern sky ever carried out using radio waves.
What goes into building an international astronomy treaty? Our astrophysicist Dr Sarah Pearce represented Australia in the international negotiations to establish the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) Observatory as an intergovernmental organisation.
Celebrate The Dish's addition to Australia’s National Heritage List with our downloadable colouring templates.
The latest analysis of gravitational waves from an event detected by LIGO may change our understanding of neutron stars and black holes. Our ASKAP radio telescope has a key role to play in unravelling the mystery.
Our astronomer Dr Shivani Bhandari is making breakthroughs in her study of mysterious signals from outer space: fast radio bursts.
Cosmologists had only been able to find half the matter that should exist in the universe. With the help of our telescope, researchers just found the rest.
An upgrade for the Australia Telescope Compact Array will enable major new discoveries about the Universe.
One of our postdoctoral researchers gives us the lowdown on why communication is a key skill for scientists, and what it was like taking part in Fresh Science.
Our scientists accidentally stumbled upon a pulsar (a highly magnetized rotating neutron star). This chance discovery was made thanks to the ASKAP telescope.
The Dish is an Aussie classic, set at our Parkes radio telescope. Most of the film is based on fact, but what was added for the sake of a (rollicking) good yarn?
