artistry and technical achievement in capturing the
beauty of the night sky. Named in honour of Dr David
Malin – a pioneer of colour astrophotography whose
work transformed our understanding of the southern sky
– the awards recognise both amateur and professional
astronomers who push the boundaries of what is
possible through imaging. Each year, the awards
showcase the very best of Australia’s deep-sky, lunar,

The Periodic table of the chemical elements is a Tabular method of displaying the chemical elements, first devised in 1863. The layout of the table has been refined and extended over time, as new elements have been discovered, and new theretical models have been developed to explain chemical behaviour. The current standard table contains 117 confirmed elements as of late 2006 (while element 118 has been synthesised, element 117 has not). This table is displayed on this t - shirt.

Science kits for the inquisitive mind
About this kit:
Did you ever stop and think about air? Of course, we are aware that it's all around us and that it is vital for our breathing and survival. Probably because it is unnoticeable most of the time, we rarely think about it as matter. A matter that has mass, and that can exert immense pressure and force. Air is vital for the existence of life on the planet but can also be a force of havoc and destruction in nature. In this kit we will learn, play and get to know many of the wonders of the air around us! This kit contains 15 fantastic experiments and tricks. It also comes equipped with all the necessary equipment excluding some common household items (such as air). It includes a clear guide accompanied with photos of the experiments steps as well as fascinating scientific explanations and facts.
Not suitable for children under 8 years.

A traditional way to read the temperature and predict the weather.
Storm Glass - Once used by seafarers to predict oncoming storms, the storm glass barometer came into general use in the early 1700's, and responds to atmospheric fluctuations to forecast the weather. Admiral Robert Fitzroy conducted a detailed study of this instrument between 1834 and 1836.
Galileo Thermometer - In 1593, Galileo Galilei discovered that the density of liquids reacts predictably to changes in temperature. He invented a device that allowed temperature variations to be measured.

Astronomers have long known that the Universe is expanding, but everything they could see indicated that gravity should be slowing this spread. Instead, it appears that the Universe is accelerating its expansion and that something stronger than gravity --dark energy -- is at work. In Einstein's Telescope Evalyn Gates, a University of Chicago astrophysicist, transports us to the edge of contemporary science to explore the revolutionary tool that unlocks the secrets of these little-understood cosmic constituents. Based on Einstein's theory of general relativity, gravitational lensing, or "Einstein's Telescope," is enabling new discoveries that are taking us toward the next revolution in scientific thinking -- one that may change forever our notions of where the Universe came from and where it is going.$64.95

The common language of genius: Eureka! While the roads that lead to breakthrough scientific discovery can be as varied and complex as the human mind, the moment of insight for all scientists is remarkably similar. The word "eureka!", attributed to the ancient Greek mathematician Archimedes, has come to express that universal moment of joy, wonder-and even shock-at discovering something entirely new. In this collection of twelve scientific stories, Leslie Alan Horvitz describes the drama of sudden insight as experienced by a dozen distinct personalities, detailing discoveries both well known and obscure. From Darwin, Einstein, and the team of Watson and Crick to such lesser known luminaries as fractal creator Mandelbrot and periodic table mastermind Dmitri Medellev, Eureka! perfectly illustrates Louis Pasteur's quip that chance favors the prepared mind. The book also describes how amateur scientist Joseph Priestley stumbled onto the existence of oxygen in the eighteenth century and how television pioneer Philo Farnsworth developed his idea for a TV screen while plowing his family's Idaho farm.$34.95
