| | | | Take our quiz on night sky phenomena |
|
We spend our lives under the night sky but how much do you really know about the stars above your head, or the many faces of the Moon?
In honour of Science Week 2024, our friends at ABC Science created a quiz to test your knowledge. And even if your score is less than brilliant, you'll be an astronomy star pupil by the end of it.
Then, listen back to ABC RN's Night Sky LIVE, a special live recording of Big Ideas recorded from a Melbourne rooftop. Join Natasha Mitchell, along with astronomers and stargazers, to explore the wonder of the worlds beyond our own.
And finally, learn how stargazing can boost mental health and wellbeing — and what experts say we can learn from recent findings. |
