G'day! I'm Jim, and this is Space Jim.

I'm creating astronomy content with a "local news" focus, centred on our 300 billion kilometre patch of space known as the Solar System.

Come join me on a journey to find out what's going on in the worlds beyond our world.

This September, we're investigating the most beautifully accessorised planet in the Solar System: Saturn.

Where did its rings come from? Are they disappearing? And could they hide the signs of life?

Let's find out!

The eight planets around our Sun are hundreds of millions of kilometres away, but that's just a stone's throw in astronomical terms. Check out the videos below to learn more about our neck of the woods. 

Teaching students about the Solar System should be fun and accessible. I'm building resources for the classroom which complement my videos and target kids both young and old, with word searches, quizzes, and more.
