Nine new and exotic creatures for the pulsar zoo – New discoveries from the Transients and Pulsars with MeerKAT Project @TrapumTeam

International research team finds nine millisecond pulsars, most of them in rare and sometimes unusual binary systems.

Keep on keepin’ on, Voyager 2!

The radio dish that beams commands to my twin is getting some needed upgrades. This means no new instructions will be sent for ~11 months, but @NASA’s Deep Space Network has a clever way to keep listening for science data: https://t.co/IGAEx0zDZc

Our operations team had a blast talking about the MWA telescope at #Astrofest2020 on Saturday night! Big thanks to the event organisers and to everyone who attended and asked questions about the 'funny little metal spiders'. @ICRAR @CurtinUni @miathewalker

All right now, baby, it’s all right now! My twin, Voyager 2, is back to normal operations.

The five science instruments turned off by the spacecraft's fault protection routine are back on and returning data. Solid. https://t.co/dZQ9Xydv8Y

Earth isn’t the only planet with Northern Lights! Auroras occur on other Solar System planets too. Here, Hubble’s ultraviolet snapshots of Saturn’s aurora are combined in a multi-day timelapse. Credit: https://t.co/5C2Ip7raAv

Today is #NationalPuzzleDay! 🧩 One of the major puzzles in astrophysics is the expansion rate of the universe, also known as the Hubble constant. Completely understanding the universe’s expansion might require new laws of physics: https://t.co/qg8Q0dcmCd

[BlackGEM Array @BlackGEM_Array]

Advice to all who think a dome on a pole is a good idea (like us!!) : make sure you install *all* dome components before lifting it up. To avoid tricky operations like this..

[ARCHIVED - NASA Voyager @NASAVoyager]

Here's the skinny: My twin went to do a roll to calibrate the onboard magnetometer, overdrew power and tripped software designed to automatically protect the spacecraft.

Voyager 2's power state is good and instruments are back on. Resuming science soon. https://t.co/4buDM32bap
