i wanted to share some photos from the
galaxy fireworks conference from late june, including my favorite -

the conference brought together the current (left) and most recent former director of the australian astronomical observatory (
AAO).
before the conference dinner, we admired the stars of the southern sky and heard a few stories of
australian indigenous astronomy.
