Aboriginal Australians have astounding understanding of astrophysics.


As people who like to live outdoors, they often look up at the sky and look for the stars and imagine the animals appearing in the night sky.

They also associate heavenly phenomena, with searches on the surface.

One of the stories that most Aboriginal tribes say is 'Seeking children in the sky'.

Then they search towards the foot of the emu in the sky, to find its eggs on the ground.
