The premier of Capturing the Cosmos – an astronomical journey through the cosmos seen from the Australian Outback

ON 4th November 2023 an eager gathering of astronomy enthusiasts in Singapore embarked on an extraordinary cosmic voyage, delving deep into the mysteries of the Universe as seen from the Australian outback. Deputy High Commissioner Ms Angela Robinson inaugurated the premiere night of “Capturing the Cosmos” last Friday at Science Centre Singapore’s Omni-Theatre. The event drew a crowd of over 100 avid astronomy enthusiasts, who were treated to an awe-inspiring experience. Following the screening, participants had the unique opportunity to observe planets through the telescopes at the Science Centre Observatory, further enhancing their cosmic adventure.

The film, a joint venture between the ARC Centre of Excellence for All-Sky Astrophysics (#CAASTRO) and Scienceworks continued to captivate packed audiences throughout the weekend screenings. Even High Commissioner Allaster Cox was among those enthralled by the cinematic journey through the Universe.

During the event, appreciation was extended to the Singapore Science Centre for this outstanding collaboration. There is eager anticipation for the opportunity to further showcase Australia’s science and innovation to audiences in Singapore.
