Kudos! LimeSDR has found its niche in "hobbyist" radio astronomy. It's entirely within the realm of possibility. That a civilian using a low budget board. Discovers the next big meteor approaching our planet. Or even a faint signal from advanced alien life ;)
- salgernon 6y agoAlmost but not quite completely off topic: a very low budget sci-fi film was released last year or so with the unfortunately overloaded name "Cosmos"[1] - the protagonists are doing radio astronomy from the back of their Volvo. I really enjoyed the movie - it just enough science explainers so people unfamiliar wouldn't get lost, but it wasn't dumbed down. This was a side project of a few people that had previously been making documentaries for NASA, and you could feel that "swelling music new frontiers and science" vibe you might from a decent documentary.
