The annual Perth AstroFest was held last weekend at Curtin University
Stadium. Organised by Astronomy WA and ICRAR, Astrofest is a free
event featuring an astrophotography exhibition, inflatable
planetariums, science shows, public talks and of a host of telescopes
pointed to the sky above. The image above shows staff
at the SKA booth ready to answer questions from attendees.
The "Christmas Tree" in the centre is a low frequency antenna:
the design for the SKA-Low site in Western Australia uses
around 130,000 such antennas, operating over the 50 to 350 MHz range.
