From the time Galileo first spotted the moons of Jupiter, telescopes have been an amazing tool of astronomy. We were fortunate enough to have a behind the scenes tour of Tasmania’s hidden optical observatory and learn more about current research conducted by the University of Tasmania

Dr Andrew Cole; Assistant Professor of the Physics department at the University of Tasmania, takes us for a tour of the Greenhill Observatory at Bisdee Tier. Learn more about Optical Astronomy below.
