📡 MPIfR + FAST: the scintillating pulsar PSR B1508+55 revealed ordered linear structures in the interstellar medium just 430 light-years from Earth! T. Sprenger's team combined Germany's 100m Effelsberg with China's 500m FAST telescope to image the pulsar at 0.1 mas resolution (~0.01 AU). Open paper in A&A.

📡 NASA + ESA tracked a record 19-day Type IV solar radio burst from Aug 2025 — previous record was just 5 days. STEREO, Parker Solar Probe, Wind and ESA's Solar Orbiter watched it from different angles. The source: a "helmet streamer" magnetic feature. Multi-spacecraft open data sharpens space-weather forecasting.

📡 Cornell & US team brought TIME, a spectrometer on the 12-m Arizona Radio Observatory (Kitt Peak), online. Instead of isolating tiny galaxies, it measures the combined glow of ionised carbon across huge patches of the early Universe ("intensity mapping"). First results from the Galactic Centre, in ApJ.

📡 South Africa's MeerKAT observed the "twinkling" (scintillation) of the nearest millisecond pulsar PSR J0437-4715 and revealed 25 solar-system-sized plasma blobs along the line of sight inside the Local Bubble — otherwise invisible. A 3D plasma map of our galactic neighbourhood, built purely from open radio data.

💧 Interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS carries water from another planetary system: the ALMA radio interferometer measured ~30× more semi-heavy water (HDO) than Solar System comets and ~40× more than Earth's oceans. It formed in extreme cold below 30 K. Published in Nature Astronomy.

☀️ On 11 May 2026, an M5.8 flare erupted from AR4436 — within minutes HF radio across the Atlantic was knocked offline. A fast CME may glance Earth on 13 May (possible G1 storm, aurora reaching Scotland or Minneapolis). Neighboring AR4432 is also growing. Watch SWPC + spaceweather.com. 📅 May 11, 2026

From Yashwant Gupta, "Phased Arrays":
"For identical elements, this phased array gives a sensitivity which is n times the sensitivity of a single element, for point source observations. The beam of such a phased array is much narrower than that of the individual elements, as it is the process of adding the voltage signals with different phases from the different elements that produces the narrow beam of the array pattern."

✨ An engineering marvel from the 1970s! 🚀
Construction began in 1967, with 40–60 people working on the project for a total of 1,318 days. On an area of 154,000 m², the radio telescope with its 100 m diameter dish was built – including laboratory and office buildings as well as the control room. 🏗️🔧 The ground had to support a load of 3,200 tons! 💪🗓️ Milestones:
1966: Foundation of the institute
1967–1971: Construction of the Effelsberg radio telescope
May 1971: Inauguration of the radio telescope 🎉
August 1972: Start of scientific operations 📡🔭 Today, it is the second-largest fully steerable radio telescope in the world! 🌍

📡 Italian citizen-science network CARMELo (16 SDR receivers tuned to GRAVES 143.050 MHz) published its April 2026 report. Lyrids were weak this year, but the spectacular fireball over the Tyrrhenian Sea on April 23 (mag −13, 350 IMO reports) left 21 radio echoes within 15 seconds. Grass-roots radio astronomy at its best. 📅 May 7, 2026

Astronomers found the source of the brightest fast radio burst (FRB) ever recorded! The burst originated from galaxy NGC 4141, ~130 million light-years away. CHIME Outrigger telescopes pinpointed the exact location. The mystery of what causes FRBs remains unsolved. 📡✨
