Sounds like an ideal work environment when all those distractions are taken away :p.
Always been fascinated by just how powerful our ability to make accurate measurements with radar and tools like inSAR is. It was one of the topics I had to cover extensively when I started writing space-related articles on Steem with my first series on cool stuff we now do with satellites in part 1 and part 2.
Damn them satellites!!!
They make all the mess for us observers :) shoot them all down, as well as the space debris.
Joking aside, awesome posts!!! Glad I got to see them even 2 years late. :)
That's very interesting. I'm not smart enough to understand all of it but I think I understand parts. It's interesting that multiple telescopes are used to cover a specific pattern in space. I thought they were all pointed in different directions to observe different areas. The information on the cooling system. Is very cool as well. I didnt know any of that.Those pictures that you took are incredible. It looks like quite the site to see. Very cool!
Thanks, @leaky20 for your visit and kind words! :)
To be honest I really didn't put much effort into explaining... We spent about 7 days learning about all the stuff... and still apart from a bit of an upgrade to the basic concept (which I already knew before) I have no idea how it functions. :)
There is this fly's eyes mode - which is used to detect a type of objects called FRB - Fast Radio Bursts - that just happen out of the dark in the sky and disappear... now they might appear again, but that is completely random. This method is used on a different set of telescopes with 36 antennas.
Oh my that AGN looks like quite the beauty.
Awesome shots of the Sat Farm, I found it very cool perhaps more so because whenI worked inthe field i built many Sat earth Station dishes but they were for Communications now telescope work
Very cool. If I fly over to Australia, can I get a guided tour. You must know somebody.

It's free to visit on your own, but you can't get into the telescope and climb on the dish - since it will be 99% in observation mode.
Another great thing to see, and probably even more accessible and monumental is Parkes observatory - it is a single dish radio telescope tho ( only one antenna - but it has 64m in diameter!!!) And it is relatively close to Sydney.
I understand how it works, but unfortunately never seen it by myself Thank you for photos from inside!

Very interesting and informative post.
Thanks
Respect
Yes it's free. Info from their site:
Getting to the observatory
The Parkes radio telescope is located at Parkes Observatory, 20 kilometres north of Parkes off the Newell Highway (the main highway between Brisbane and Melbourne). The road to the telescope is clearly marked.
And there is some 3D theatre and kids scavenger hunts that are less than $10.
