Melbourne's ASTRONOMY CENTRAL

Australia has some of the best astronomy facilities and best astronomers in the world. Since we are situated in the Southern Hemisphere, we are able to view many objects which cannot be seen from north of the equator.

Many of the Australian observatories have web pages. For information on whether you can visit these obervatories, please refer to the observatories themselves.
