23.01.2022 Not geodesy, but an exciting day for everyone at the Mt Pleasant observatory. Jim Palfreyman has a paper in Nature today which uses observations of the Vela pulsar with the 26m telescope to study matter in its most extreme state - the interior of a neutron star. Congratulations Jim! https://rdcu.be/LfP0

19.01.2022 50 years ago (8 June 1967) the first very long baseline observation was made between Haystack and Greenbank. From those humble beginnings of two telescopes and data rates of a few kbps, to the AuScope VLBI array - doing experiments with telescopes across the globe at data rates of many Gbps.

13.01.2022 The AuScope VLBI project is part of a larger national geosciences program. This 5 minute video shows the wide range of important activities that are happening under the AuScope banner - enjoy https://youtu.be/NIRMBolyxjM

08.01.2022 So many AuScope VLBI connections in this article - GPS, neutron stars (which we love observing with our other telescopes) and all delivered to the international space station on a Space X mission tracked with the Hobart 12m antenna. http://theconversation.com/neutron-stars-could-be-our-gps-f

02.01.2022 Ever wonder how VLBI helps make positioning with GPS and other global navigation satellite systems more accurate? VLBI is the only way we can measure the rotation of the Earth accurately and this article explains why we need to know that. http://insidegnss.com/how-does-earths-rotation-affect-gnss/
