The Voyager 1 spacecraft earlier today transmitted a 6.5 hour playback of data from its 8-track digital tape recorder (DTR)!

This data will arrive 22.5 hours later between 10:37 and 17:13 UTC on Thu, Nov 9 and be captured using 5 arrayed antennas at the NASA DSN Madrid site in Robledo de Chavela, Spain.

Tx rate = 1.4 kbps instead of the normal 160 bps, which requires simultaneous reception by the 5 antennas.
1.4 kbps * 6.5 hours = 4 Mbytes

Anyone have an extra #Bluesky invite hanging around? Kinda curious what all the hub bub is about.
@ivory is it possible to…say I unfollow an account. Would it be possible to clear the timeline of their previous posts after unfollowing them?
