The Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) radio telescope
has been lit up in a rainbow of colours for Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras 2019.
The image above, showing six of the 12-metre antennas
each reflecting a colour of the
rainbow against the backdrop of the Milky Way,
was created to mark
CSIRO’s inaugural participation in the Mardi Gras Parade.
CSIRO staff will march in the parade on 2 March holding a giant
double helix (DNA), celebrating the organisation's commitment to
diversity.
CSIRO Chief Executive Dr Larry Marshall said CSIRO was highlighting
the importance of diversity not just at the agency but also the
critical role it played in science and innovation,
"Diversity is in our DNA, and our LGBTQI+ community is a crucial part
of CSIRO's DNA."
