| Summary |
This week, Scope is up WAY past our bed time, searching for signs of science during the night! From things that glow in the dark, to nocturnal animals and night vision technology, this episode is as full as the moon! So, sleep on it, but don't forget to wake up and join Dr Rob as he once again proves that the ordinary becomes extraordinary, under the SCOPE.NIGHT INTRODr Peter Firth from the Sir Thomas Brisbane Planetarium gives us an overview of exactly what night is and how they create night inside the Planetarium.GLOW IN THE DARK EXPERIMENTHave you been looking for an experiment you can do at night? Well Junior Scientist Will has an experiment that will literally glow in the dark!LIGHTHOUSELighthouses used to provide signals to ships navigating coastlines at night and despite all the new GPS systems, they still do! Melanie Costanzo from Eco-Logic explains how lighthouses have changed over time and why they still important.NIGHT VISION TECHNOLOGYSeeing at night can be pretty difficult for us humans, but Dan Willetts from the South Australia Police shows us some of the technology they use so they can see in the dark!NOCTURNAL ANIMALSAs the sun comes up that is generally when humans are waking up, ready to start the day. But there are some animals that are heading to bed. Brett Haby from Cleland Wildlife Park introduces us to nocturnal animals. NIGHT TIME LAPSELouis Maddiford is a film maker who uses a technique called time-lapse. Time lapse is when a series of pictures are taken at regular intervals in the same location. When all the images are put together you can see events or patterns in a much faster time frame. Louis shows us how he makes a night time-lapse video of stars moving through the sky |
