Riches of the Southern Milky Way
A wide field view of the spectacular Southern Milky Way and the barren South Celestial Pole.
Wide Field View
Deep in the Southern sky, the South Celestial Polar region (to the left hand side of the image) is bereft of objects of interest to astronomers. It has no interesting constellations, nor any stars brighter than about magnitude 4.0.
Polaris Australis, also known as Sigma Octans, is our barely visible “Pole Star” with an embarrassingly weak magnitude of +5.4.

A prolific NASA asteroid-hunting mission has come to an end.
Engineers sent a final command to the agency's NEOWISE (Near-Earth Object Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer) spacecraft on Thursday (Aug. 8), ordering the probe to turn off its transmitter after nearly 15 years of operation in low Earth orbit.
"The NEOWISE mission has been an extraordinary success story as it helped us better understand our place in the universe by tracking asteroids and comets that could be hazardous for us on Earth," Nicola Fox, associate administrator for the Science Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters, said in a statement on Thursday.

Your resume should include any relevant work experience and skills you have and it's good to include your volunteer work and internships (ideally four of them) as well as your multiple graduate degrees and the certifications you've earned during the process, and also your resume can only be one page in a font that's easy to read. This field is hard to break into because we have a lot of applicants for not a lot of openings and we'll keep them open for years until we find the perfect candidate. A great way to distinguish yourself is by taking any adjacent job you can find even if it means you have to work two or three part time jobs to make ends meet until a new opening is made. It's also good to tailor your resume to the companies and jobs you're applying for so that they know you researched the role and didn't send out mass applications, and oh, I highly, highly recommend that you keep your resume updated and a digital copy on hand so that you can email it to people at a moment's notice because it's good to keep an eye out for opportunities as they come up. Everyone around you has a master's degree and it's basically the new bachelor's and a PhD is the new master's and we really like seeing several years of work experience because there's a lot of stuff you can't learn in a classroom setting. It's a great field and I love working in it and you should pursue it if you're passionate about it!

Milky Way Widefield
Astronomers at work under the Milky Way!
I can only see the very brightest naked eye stars from Cosmic Focus Observatory and the Milky Way is all but gone.
So it was a great experience to return to the observing field with the Society under a dark sky after nearly five years! Reason for absence were bush fires (2019-20), covid (2020-23), personal mobility issues (2023) and adverse weather…
