Fun for young and old at the Astrofest in Perth
by Phil Crosby (CASS)
The 2015 Perth Astrofest was held on the 27th of March attracting a large crowd of astronomy enthusiasts. The picture shows Aidan Hotan (CASS, Perth), Mary D'Souza (CASS, Geraldton) and Rob Hollow (CASS, Sydney) setting up the Murchison Radio Observatory (MRO) display, including Lego antennas, aperture tiles and dipoles. The CASS team supervised the construction of hundreds of mini Lego dishes by children young and old. Meanwhile outside dozens of optical telescopes were set up public viewing of the sun (including an amazing prominence), stars, and planets in the perfectly clear sky.
