Auroras, lightning sprites, satellite trains, the breathtaking Milky Way — the night sky is full of incredible things to see.
Many of us “make a wish on a shooting star”, set an alarm to catch a meteor shower, or get together to watch a lunar eclipse turn the Moon blood red.
For National Science Week, we want to hear from you about the most amazing thing you’ve seen in the night sky.
In previous years, we’ve asked you about your favourite tree (well done, river red gum) and what animal call you love most (the magpie, of course).
For 2024, we are switching off the lights and turning our eyes to the heavens!
We’ve compiled a list of objects, constellations and events you can vote for — and there’s an exciting twist this year: you can also add your own suggestion.
So take a moment, remember your experience and let us know what’s filled you with awe and wonder.
