    What's Up in the Sky? July's Stellar Stargazing Guide!

    This week on Please Look Up, we’re climbing 2700 metres above sea level to check out a telescope so powerful it’ll basically binge watch the universe. The Vera Rubin Observatory has a 3.2 gigapixel camera (yes, gigapixel) and a mission to scan the entire night sky every three days for the next decade. Total cost? A cool $1 billion. Worth it? We think so. We unpack what this mega project means for science, why Vera Rubin never got a Nobel Prize (but should have), and how her work on dark matter changed the game. Also in this episode: July is peak Milky Way season so rug up, head outside and look upLearn to spot the Dark Emu, a brilliant Aboriginal constellation made of shadows, not starsVenus and Jupiter are stealing the morning show if you're up early enoughSpace junk is piling up with over 130 million bits of debris bigger than a centimetre floating around. We talk about why that matters and who’s keeping an eye on it Stuff we mention: emudreaming.com – for more on Aboriginal astronomyscitech.org.au – if you want to keep learning locally
