Astronomy Fun Fact:The 1.2 meter UK Schmidt Telescope is located in Coonabarabran, New South Wales, Australia. It is a wide-field instrument which was designed to photograph 6.6 by 6.6 degree areas of the sky onto plates measuring 14 by 14 inches.
Far southern skies are still less-known overall than their northern counterparts. Visual goodies await!

Did they say molecular clouds? If so, then there would be a call for chemists. Astronomy is fine as a discipline, but already there are biologists, chemists, physicists, all kinds of engineers, and lawyers working on what used to be mainly astronomy, naming stars.
