School Day and Astro Hub
Sleep in this morning after our very busy last few days.
Washing, car cleaning, school work this morning. This afternoon we headed to the Astro Hub
where we learnt about supermassive black holes from a Canadian Astonomer
working with CAASTRO at the Narrabri radar telescope.

She also showed us a website where normal individuals can look at some of the data being generated and match up radio wave images and infra-red optical images to identify the locations of black holes. The radio wave images show the rays coming out from the centre of the black hole. http://radio.galaxyzoo.org

This is really cool!! After dinner we headed
up to one of the lookouts within Yulara campground to watch the sunset on
Uluru.
