Bushfires are frequent risk in Australia. But did you know satellites are helping mitigate the risks? By observing Earth from above, we're gaining crucial insights into where fires are starting, how they're spreading, and the extent of the damage.

Speak of the devil. 😈 As the Devil's Finger fungus (Clathrus archeri) progresses to maturity, it erupts red arms from a white 'egg,' giving the appearance of a devil hatching out of the ground! 😱 #FungiFriday 📸 | Marshal via @atlaslivingaust 💻 |

Australians are no strangers to extreme weather conditions. So how do we keep our homes comfortable regardless of the weather? The answer is air tightness. We've uncovered the science behind detecting draughts and reducing the 'leakiness' of our homes.

Wind in the Pillows. 💨 We tested the air-tightness (whether draughts are getting in or out) of 233 new dwellings and found significant improvement compared to older homes. We also identified where most leaks occur. Keeping draughts out of your home. 👇
