Murchison Radio-astronomy Observatory

The Murchison Shire is a great place for world-leading astronomy projects, which is why it is home to CSIRO’s Murchison Radio-astronomy Observatory (MRO). Already hosting exceptional telescopes on Wajarri country, the MRO has also been chosen as the site of one of the two international SKA telescopes.

Established with the help of the Western Australian and Australian Governments, and managed by Australia’s national science agency, CSIRO, the MRO has been operating for over a decade. Currently hosted at the MRO are CSIRO’s ASKAP radio telescope, the Murchison Widefield Array led by Curtin University, and the Arizona State University led EDGES instrument.
