With his love of science fiction and photography, it seems that Ian Inverarity has always been destined to become involved with astrophotography. Key points: A mechanical engineer from Adelaide has won this year’s David Malin astrophotography award Amateur astrophotography is booming as a hobby as technology becomes more advanced and affordable This year’s competition entered the smartphone category for the first time Mechanical engineers have been capturing the wonders of the night sky for several years now, traveling to regional South Australia in search of the perfect shot. He said the addictive pursuit took him to Gawler, north of Adelaide, about once a month. And many nights and hours in darkness have paid off, with his photo of an old gum tree at Gawler shrouded in mist before the Milky Way picks up this year’s David Malin astrophotography award in New South Wales. “It’s relatively unusual. Out of the seven years or so I’ve been going there, I’ve only encountered fog at night,” I

Plain text size Larger text size Text size is very large When ANZ Bank chief executive Shayne Elliott floated the prospect of buying Suncorp bank with its board of directors, it didn’t take long to sell off the benefits of the deal. When he announced this week’s $4.9 billion bid, Australia’s biggest banking deal in more than a decade, Elliott said there was an initial view from the board that the deal would align with the bank’s strategy. “Nobody sitting around the board table at ANZ, or quite frankly very many places in the country, is saying that this doesn’t make sense to ANZ,” Elliott said. “That makes sense. We’ve always said that we want to strengthen our retail and commercial banks.” Likewise, most analysts and investors this week gave the thumbs up for its ambitious expansion. If successful, ANZ will jump to third place in the competitive home loan market and develop into a fast-growing country. But the proposed deal offended others. It was met with fierce opposition from a

Vancouver, BC and Ithaca, NY—A new study helps uncover why tropical mountain birds occupy such a narrow elevation range, a mystery that has baffled scientists for centuries. While many temperature assumptions are responsible for this limited distribution, recent research suggests competition from other species plays a larger role in shaping bird ranges. The study, conducted by researchers at the University of British Columbia and the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, included 4.4 million citizen science observations of 2,879 bird species worldwide. The findings were published in Science on July 21. “You have incredible biodiversity in the mountains, especially in the tropics. From one scenic point in the Andes, you can see mountain slopes that are home to as many species as the rest of North America,” said lead author Benjamin Freeman, a postdoctoral fellow at the University of British Columbia. “We want to know, how does it work?” Freeman and his collaborators obtained the range of data

Dough nudged the ball and started for a quick single. A fielder attacks, and in one swift motion, picks up the ball and flicks it into the stump behind him. Key points: The century-old church is a unique venue for Melbourne cricket competitions Over a decade, the competition grew to include hundreds of players The parish church closed the competition, citing security concerns An uproar erupted in the stands and it seemed the hitter was less than the ground. To be sure, the referee made a reference to the Decision Review System (DRS). It’s the kind of scene that plays out at the Melbourne Cricket Ground every summer, but tonight takes place inside the halls of an Anglican church, beneath a replica of Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel masterpiece, The Creation of Adam. For more than a decade, St Columb’s Hawthorn has been a spiritual home for players who play cricket five days a week. The church hall, which is over 130 years old, ranks as one of the most unique places in the world of crick
