Bit of very cool news :-)

This was under wraps until recently and I hope you will forgive my trumpet....

My Orions Sword image, that was finalist in the Eureka Prize last year, has been selected to be enlarged to 1.6m X 1.6m and hung high on the drum wall, on permanent display at the National Science and Technology Centre (Questacon) in Canberra. It will be featuring as part of a huge 5 panel display of scientific images, mine is the only astroimage - pretty cool huh?

Needless to say I am over the moon and greatly honoured, not sure I can think of a more fitting place to have any of my work on display?

So if you are in Canberra later this year and happen to be at Questacon, have a gander - hard to miss as they will hang in full view of the entire foyer....to 1/2 Million visitors a year!

In the meantime here is a peek at what it will look like:

Thanks for listening to my little trumpet

Mike
