the office tonite. @thebroadyparkes . as you can see by the sign, this pub was built in the year 2870. so I've travelled over 800 years in the future. two things I can reveal:
1. #spotify still pay only pennies to us artists;
b. keith richards is still alive.

"The Parkes radio telescope Murriyang, which helped broadcast the moon landing in 1969, has played a central role in another scientific discovery.

CSIRO scientists working at Murriyang have been observing an array of nano hertz frequency pulsars for almost 20 years. They are ripples in space time [gravitational waves] that are nearly the same size as the Milky Way.

The longevity of the experiment is due to the waves being years or even decades in length." #science #astrophysics #physics #astronomy #RadioAstronomy #RadioTelescope #Australia #Parkes #Murriyang ##GravitationalWaves #MilkyWay #pulsars #telescope #CSIRO

Astronomen vinden nieuwe supernovaresten in de Melkweg

Met behulp van de ASKAP en Parkes radiotelescopen in Australië hebben astronomen een groot deel van het galactische vlak van de Melkweg waargenomen.

So, it wasn't a stroke. Likely it was a hard fall that left him concussed and unable to move.

That's one good thing at least. He's getting good care at #Parkes hospital – thankfully the injuries weren't severe enough to warrant transfer to a regional base hospital. It'll still be a few more days before he can get discharged. The current concern is that he has permanently lost some mobility, but maybe physio can help there.

Got to spend a weekend in #parkes #nsw #australia visiting #murriyang #thedish #radiotelescope that was integral to the #apollo11 #moonlanding 😀

I made an #introduction a couple of weeks ago, but there are more people around now, so here's an introduction to my #research.
I have mainly worked on #RadioAstronomy surveys of neutral hydrogen in the local universe. In my early career, I was part of the HIPASS survey with the #Parkes telescope and the HIJASS survey with the #Lovell telescope at #JodrellBank, and did my #PhD on the HIDEEP survey, also with Parkes. I later led the AGES and WAVES surveys with #Arecibo.
