Tidbinbilla is home to sprawling fields of sheep paddocks, but that doesn’t bother the team at Canberra’s Deep Space Tracking Station … they prefer their neighbours to be quiet on the radio frequencies – because it helps them be one third of NASA’s Deep Space Communication Network.

An accomplished international photographer, Charles Brooks, has captured dazzling new images of one component of the main ring at the Australian Synchrotron and provided an inside view of the electron’s path when it is used. A synchrotron engineer converted radio waves produced in the vacuum chamber into sound files.

New Marsquake data could help solve one of the solar system’s biggest mysteries, Saturn’s rings might be deceptively old – based on what we thought
New analysis of marsquakes, which are similar to earthquakes, could offer clues into how Mars has evolved over billions of years, according to new research from The Australian National University and the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Distant neutron stars typically spin a full 360 degrees within seconds. However, a new type of ‘radio transient object’ – so called as they are detected in radio waves – has emerged that rotate much more slowly. In the time it takes this cosmic lighthouse to rotate you could watch Interstellar twice before it completes a full spin.
