Worth a watch.
- Smoosh 2y agoNo, that was about the dish at Parkes, this is about the Tidbinbilla dish, near Canberra.
- 78zeros 2y agoI agree it's a good watch, however they're different antennas. The radio telescope at Parkes was built prior to DSS-43 that is the article's subject, they're located approx. 4 hours drive apart.
- jamesbfb 2y agoNot necessarily related, but it’s a fantastic Aussie film nonetheless.
