This was one of the brightest meteors I saw on the morning of August 12, 2009. The camcorder didn’t pick it up too well, but my still camera captured it no problem (even though the wide angle lens made it seem rather small in the sky).

The stuff we can see in the night sky is makes up just four per cent of the Universe. The rest consists of dark matter and dark energy, but what these are made of remains a mystery. Tamara Davis will use supernovae to find dark energy. The discovery in 1998 that the expansion of the Universe is accelerating required a rethink of cosmology. Tamara is trying to put the pieces back together again. She will use the new Australian Skymapper telescope to find hundreds of supernovae and use these …
