In May 2020, we witnessed dramatic footage of eight chimney stacks at the old Hazelwood coal-fired power station sequentially fall during demolition. AuScope seismometers recorded the shock, as they do many different natural and human-made events in Australia and around the world. Here’s what scientists can learn using this NCRIS enabled seismic data.

The cause? A meteor exploding as it collided with the Earth’s atmosphere. Dr. Michelle Salmon from the Australian National University explains.
