Australian astronomy is riding a wave of discovery powered by new technology. This technology has increased the sensitivity of existing telescopes and enabled the construction of new telescopes that can see wider and further than ever before. 

This is the mid-term review of New horizons: a decadal plan for Australian astronomy 2006–2015.

It reaffirms the key goals of the decadal plan, and acknowledges both the Government’s significant investment in astronomy facilities over the past five years and its recognition of astronomy as a flagship Super Science area.
