Online!

Countdown 10, 9, 8, ... 3, 2, 1, 0

Antennas slew and rotate in synchronization to target. A beautiful sight!

Data streaming from telescopes to Perth via Geraldton via NBN.

Brian Boyle reports -

"'In the first full day of operation, ASKAP will generate more information than exists in the US Library of Congress. In fact, that is more information than all the radio astronomy archives around the world today ... In one day the SKA will generate more information than the equivalent of all the words spoken by the human race.''

Webcast concluded but the start of a new era in astronomy!
