Looking forward to having students from Willeton SHS in Perth and Birrong GHS and Ravenswood in Sydney use the CSIRO Parkes radio telescope, Murriyang, today to observe pulsars! CSIRO_ATNF

Professor Tara Murphy has been appointed Chair of the #ATNF Steering Committee. The ATSC provides advice on CSIRO’s ongoing delivery of radio astronomy capabilities for the nation and appoints the ATNF user and time allocation committees. 📸 Tara Murphy with #ASKAP

We're looking for students in Yrs 10-11 to take part in a 3 day Virtual Work Experience program with us using the Parkes radio telescope, Murriyang, 7-9 Sep. Applications close 7 July: csiro.au/en/careers/Sch… CSIRO_ATNF

#ATNFflashbackFriday 1965 This film was produced four years after our #Parkes radio telescope, Murriyang, began operating. Called ‘Window into Space’, it gives a great insight into the technology of the time. Watch here: vimeo.com/134810705

#ATNFflashbackFriday 1960 This is an image of our #Parkes radio telescope, #Murriyang, under construction. Learn more here: csiro.au/en/about/facil…

Join us tomorrow night for recap of the incredible achievements and discoveries we've seen from our #ASKAP radio telescope, as part of #ScienceWeek. This will be your chance to ask leaders in radio astronomy all about the telescope! Register here: csiro.au/ASKAP-recap

What can #Parkes radio telescope, #Murriyang detect? Radio waves from seven millimetres to four metres long. The telescope can be pointed with an accuracy better than 11 arcseconds – about the width of a finger seen 150 metres away. Pic: A. Cherney

#Parkes radio telescope, Murriyang, has seen many upgrades in its 60+ years. Now, it’s ten thousand times more sensitive than when first commissioned in 1961 and still one the best radio telescopes in the world. More here: csiro.au/en/about/facil…

#ATNFflashbackFriday 1971 This is a photo montage showing the control room of our #Parkes radio telescope, #Murriyang, during the Apollo 15 mission. It was the 9th crewed mission in the Apollo program and the 4th to land on the Moon.

#DYK Astronomers studied the ‘double pulsar’ system, which had been found using our #Parkes radio telescope – Murriyang, for 16 years to test Einstein’s theory of general relativity. Read the story here: blog.csiro.au/giving-einstei…. Pic: John Rowe Animation

This series made with CSIRO explores different #Aboriginal seasonal #calendars to find out how the knowledge they contain helps the traditional owners to hunt, fish and collect bush tucker at the best time. abc.net.au/education/coll… #geography #science

Our observatory in WA has been gifted a Wajarri name! 📡 Inyarrimanha Ilgari Bundara, CSIRO's Murchison Radio-astronomy Observatory. This dual name means 'sharing sky and stars' and represents the Wajarri Yamaji's long connection to Country as the region's first astronomers. ⭐️

We’re looking forward to hosting another observing session for NYSF - 40yrs in 2024! in January 2023!

The first fast radio burst #FRB was discovered in 2007 using our #Parkes radio telescope, #Murriyang. The team found an incredibly bright pulse that some astronomers didn’t believe was real. The story so far: blog.csiro.au/what-we-know-s… Image: CSIRO/Sam Moorfield

Meet Bridget Kelly, PhD student Complex Human Data Hub. Bridget presents at #Parkes Observatory on Wiradjuri Country during school holidays & focusses on Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander constellations & narratives overlapping with other cultural groups. Visit: csiro.au/en/about/facil…

The #Parkes radio telescope's #Wiradjuri name is #Murriyang. It represents the 'Skyworld' where a prominent creator spirit of the Wiradjuri Dreaming, Biyaami (Baiame), lives. Each telescope at #Parkes Observatory has a Wiradjuri name. More here: wiradjuri.wcclp.com.au/videos

Meet Yuanming Wang, PhD student at the University of Sydney & CSIRO. Yuanming presents at #Parkes Observatory on Wiradjuri Country during school holidays. She was also a member of the team that found the most luminous pulsar known to date! Visit the observatory: csiro.au/en/about/facil…

Lovely day for observing with Murriyang, the Parkes radio telescope. We're running some tests today on RFI mitigation before heading down to VSSEC tomorrow for student and teacher sessions later this week. CSIRO_ATNF
