Does astronomical instrumentation (e.,g. https://mavis-ao.org) at AAO in Sydney.
Interested in all things space-related, hobby electronics, & lizards.
A lot of my posts will be photos of lizards, you can find (or block) them using the #LizardPosting hastag.

Spectacular 7.25hours radio observations with MeerKAT of six "jellyfish" galaxies swimming in the Ophiucus cluster of galaxies, by my local colleague A. Botteon on #astroph this morning:

These systems spread relativistic electrons and magnetic fields in the intergalactic medium and are a key ingredient to understand the cycle of cosmic rays on the largest scales in the Universe.
Yikes. CaddX seem to be getting desperate in their attempts to compete with DJI, and they're really shooting themselves in the foot with this sort of behaviour: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8aIjL3-GIM
I don't want to buy into the DJI FPV system, but the way things are going I don't feel good about buying any more CaddX kit either.
I don't want to make you feel old, but the Hubble Space Telescope has completed 35 years in Earth orbit. Mission controllers celebrated the milestone, releasing an assortment of images captured by Hubble, including Mars, a star-forming nebula, a supernova remnant, and a bizarre-looking galaxy. The telescope has completed 1.7 million observations, looking at 55,000 targets, and collected 400 terabytes of data, leading to over 22,000 papers.

In celebration of the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescopeās 35 years in Earth orbit, an assortment of images that were recently taken by Hubble has been released today. This stretches from the planet Mars to images of stellar birth and death, and a magnificent neighbouring galaxy. After over three decades of scrutinising our Universe, Hubble remains a household word as the most well-recognised telescope in scientific history.
Much shonkiness, much wow!
