The orange and black towers of rock rising above deep green forest are almost as strange as their name: the Bungle Bungle Range. Familiar to Aboriginal Australians for centuries, or perhaps millennia, most Europeans knew nothing of the Bungle Bungles until the 1980s, when they became part of the Purnululu National Park in northwestern Australia. The mountains rise 200 to 300 meters above a forest and grass plain in the Kimberley, a section of Western Australia.Water is responsible for both the...

This site comprises the more or less contiguous floodplain in the middle reaches of the Fortescue River and is a major breeding ground in Western Australia. Sensor: OrbView-2/SeaWiFS. Data Start Date: 6/13/00.

Though waters have receded a bit from last week's levels, the Fitzroy River in northwestern Australia continues to overflow its banks. The false-color image of the flood (top) was acquired on March 3, 2002, by the Moderate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), flying aboard NASA?s <a href="http://terra.nasa.gov/" target="outlink">Terra</a> spacecraft.The flooding began a week and a half ago when roughly 300 mm of rain poured down on the...

There was a large low-pressure system off Australia's southern coast on February 20, 2002. This true-color image was acquired by the Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor (SeaWiFS), flying aboard the Orbview-2 satellite. Sensor: OrbView-2/SeaWiFS. Data Start Date: 2/20/02.

On the Cape York Peninsula in Queensland, Australia, numerous large fires were detected by the <a HREF="http://modis.gsfc.nasa.gov">Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer</a> on the <a HREF="http://aqua.nasa.gov">Aqua</a> satellite on October 19, 2002. Burn scars are especially prominent on the western half of the Peninsula as dark brown patches against the dun-colored landscape. Sensor: Terra/MODIS.

Heavy rains starting on January 12, 2004, brought widespread flooding to Queensland and New South Wales, Australia. Though high rivers have isolated towns and destroyed livestock, the water is a welcome relief after years of drought in the region. The waters have caused more than $20 million in damage to roads in Queensland, and sections of New South Wales have been declared natural disaster zones. But despite this, damage has been minimal. The floods are a normal part of the wet season, and,...

A massive low-pressure system treated eastern Australia to wild weather on February 2, 2005. The storm brought destructive winds, heavy rain, low temperatures, and even snow to parts of Australia when the southern continent should be at the peak of summer.

The radio data of supernova remnant N63A was observed with the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) on May 23, 1991. The radio light is brightest in the central region of the remnant, which appears as a triangular-shaped "hole" in the X-ray data. The field of view is the same as the Chandra image. Scale:
