  Technology has, without doubt, expanded our understanding of space. The
Voyager 1 space probe is on the brink of leaving our solar system. Massive

astronomy has existed for thousands of years and forms a vital part of
Indigenous Australian culture, even today. As an example, let's explore the
astronomy of the Torres Strait Islanders, an Indigenous Australian people
living between the tip of Cape York and Papua New Guinea.
