"A Broken Hill amateur astronomer has won a national award for his contribution
to a broad range of planetary science, particularly his work observing Saturn.
Trevor Barry was awarded joint winner of the Astronomical Society of
Australia's 2022 Berenice and Arthur Page Medal at the weekend.
The award is given to amateur astronomers who have contributed significantly to
the science.
Mr Barry said he was amazed he picked up the medal given his background, which
included working in the local mines for a number of years.
"We're such a small community, we're very isolated but Broken Hill people have
actually excelled in such a wide range of fields ... obviously mining and the
arts and sport," he said."
