Research Tuesdays: sharing great research with the community
Stargazing with eyes wide shut: How distant celestial radiation is giving us a whole new perspective on the universe - and our own backyards

Since 1992, the University of Adelaide has been part of a major international project that is changing the way we "see" the universe.

Located in Argentina, the Pierre Auger Observatory is exclusively observing celestial radiation containing particles up to 100,000,000 times more energetic than any created by man.

In doing so it's producing a remarkable first view of the universe that is not based on the observation of light, and providing valuable insights into radiation's role in heating our environment right here in SA.

Auger data was recognised in 2007 by the journal Science as one of the three most important results in any scientific field worldwide. In this "illuminating" presentation Professor Roger Clay shows why.

Exhibition: Stefan Koppelkamm: Ortszeit Local Time

While travelling through East Germany in 1990 - after the fall of the Berlin wall but before re-unification - Stefan Koppelkamm captured in photographs a reality which he assumed would soon disappear for ever. Years later, the photographer sought out each location again and took a second photograph from exactly the same standpoint. This exhibition presents a selection of those photographs.
