Every year a picture book, written and illustrated by an Australian author and illustrator, is read simultaneously in libraries, schools, pre-schools, childcare centres, family homes, bookshops and many other places around the country. Now in its 21st successful year, it is a colourful, vibrant, fun event that aims to promote the value of reading and literacy, using an Australian children s book that explores age-appropriate themes, and addresses key learning areas of the National Curriculum for Foundation to Year 6.
The National Simultaneous Storytime 2021 book is

Australia-led partners develop optics to deal with âspace junkâ

ANU and RMIT researchersâ adaptive optics to direct guide star laser being developed by Electro Optic Systems.
The researchersâ work on adaptive optics, which removes the haziness caused by turbulence in the atmosphere, has been applied to a new âguide starâ laser for better identifying, tracking and safely moving space debris.
ANU says that space debris is a major threat to the $700 billion of space infrastructure delivering diverse, critical services around the globe each day: âWith laser guide star adaptive optics, this infrastructure now has a new line of defense.â
Researchers at The Australian National University (ANU) have harnessed a technique that helps telescopes see objects in the night sky more clearly to fight against dangerous and costly space debris. The researchers’ work on adaptive optics – which removes the haziness caused by turbulence in the atmosphere – has been applied to a new ‘guide star’ laser for better identifying, tracking and safely moving space debris.
