Really, really exciting to see boxes of black hole data at the start of their journey to us for EHT correlation! They’re here now and they’re in good hands 🤓 Thanks, Dr. Amy Lowitz, and many others!

The NEWSDR software-defined radio workshop was a great success! Haystack talks on using SDR for scientific sensing to this audience went well—looking forward to working with folks on this front

ow.ly/gn3A50OE7Wa .The Boston Globe columnist Tom Farragher spotlights how researchers from MIT Haystack Observatory have built an “ice penetrator,” a device designed to help scientists study how sea ice is changing.

Haystack stands proudly with our LGBTQ+ colleagues and the entire community, celebrating inclusivity and human rights for all this month—and every month!

Another successful IVS TOW (Technical Operations Workshop) this year! People from at least 15 different countries worldwide represented various IVS components at TOW 2023, held at MIT Haystack Observatory in Westford, Massachusetts. Thanks to all who participated!

Thanks for talking to us about our climate change work, The Boston Globe! Our 'science lawn darts' will next be deployed by helicopter in Antarctica to help measure and study the ice sheets—stay tuned for more on this team's research. (Also, great photo!)

This was also my first time using Adobe Lightroom's enhanced denoise. It worked very well -> comparison below.

Software-defined radio has its own New England Workshop (NEWSDR) this June 2! Registration is free, and you can learn everything you need to know about software-defined radio (SDR) and then some.

Haystack folks will be there to talk about our work!

Fantastic seminar this afternoon DIAS Astronomy & Astrophysics by Dr. Mary Knapp and Phil Erickson from MIT Haystack Observatory. Lots of exciting ideas for the future of solar system (and exoplanet) radio emission studies with flexible observing platforms like CubeSats and constellations.

Amazing photography from Austin DeSisto! Cannot wait to see more of his work 🤩

Come work with us! New position for a Postdoctoral Associate in Astronomy is open at Haystack:

Woohoo! Excited to start this study with Dr. Erika Palmerio and Lenny Paritsky. We want to watch Earth, Jupiter, and Saturn light up in the radio as they get pummeled by solar weather. Whole planets as sensors! Thanks NASA Sun & Space for funding this work.
