in west virginia is het ook al mooi herfst aan het worden 🙂 (van dichtbij is 'ie natuurlijk nog spectaculairder, maar daar zijn telefoons verboden, ook in flight mode 😕) #GreenBankTelescope (grootste volledig beweegbare radioschotel ter wereld)

For anyone in #WestVirginia :

There is a request for calls to your members of Congress to keep the #GreenBankTelescope operational; since it is now being threatened by Donald Trump and those with him as part of their trying to dismantle science in the United States - https://www.gogreenbankobservatory.org/take-action/ .

Next-Generation Radar Will Map Threatening Asteroids

When the Arecibo Observatory dish in Puerto Rico collapsed in 2020, astronomers lost a powerful radio telescope and a unique radar instrument to map the surfaces of asteroids and other planetary bodies. Fortunately, a new, next-generation radar system called ngRADAR is under development, to eventually be installed at the 100-meter (328 ft.) Green Bank Telescope … Continue reading "Next-Generation Radar Will Map Threatening Asteroids"

New millisecond pulsar discovered with the Green Bank Telescope

Using the Green Bank Telescope (GBT), astronomers from Columbia University and the University of California Berkeley have detected a new binary millisecond pulsar. The newly found pulsar, designated PSR J0212+5321, belongs to the "redback" subclass and is located relatively nearby. The finding was reported June 8 on the arXiv pre-print server.
