📡 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

☄️ The International Meteor Organization (IMO) published its weekly outlook for 9–15 May 2026. Eta Aquariids fading (~5 met/h with half moon), eta Lyrids and the Anthelion radiant remain active. Best window: midnight to moonrise ~03:00. 📅 May 8, 2026

📡 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

☀️ Solar radio bursts reveal hidden magnetic "switchbacks" near the Sun. A study of 24 interplanetary type III bursts from Parker Solar Probe shows their variability is better explained by magnetic fluctuations than density changes. A beautiful result from open data! 📅 April 2026

🔭 Astronomers uncovered over 1,000 new "winged" radio galaxies in the European LOFAR Two-metre Sky Survey (LoTSS DR2). From 4.3M sources they identified 1024 new X- or Z-shaped galaxies powered by supermassive black holes. A great example of open data in action! 📅 May 1, 2026

📡 The Radio Meteor Observing Bulletin (RMOB) just published April 2026 raw datasets from radio-meteor observers worldwide — Poland, Italy, Japan, Mexico, even Antarctica. Each month the network logs thousands of meteor radio echoes; an open archive anyone can mine. (Apr 2026)

Titan Observatory is building a proof-of-concept for our remote observation platform.
The goal is to offer a public demo on our website, including real-time control of this 2.3m telescope and a simple guided observation of the hydrogen line.

📡 China's 500m FAST radio telescope discovered 6 new isolated millisecond pulsars in globular clusters NGC 6517 and NGC 7078. Known pulsar populations grow by ~27% and ~18% respectively. Faint, isolated pulsars are a great natural lab for neutron-star physics. (Apr 2026)

🕳️ The Event Horizon Telescope team led by Paul Tiede (Harvard BHI) introduced a new technique — HIBI, hierarchical interferometric Bayesian imaging. Instead of building an image, it fits physical parameters directly from radio-interferometric data. Tested on M87* and promising for the future ngEHT and more distant black holes.

☄️ A radio view of an interstellar comet! ALMA measured 3I/ATLAS's HDO/H2O ratio — 30× richer in semi-heavy water than Solar System comets, 40× more than Earth's oceans. Data from 6 days after perihelion show it formed in a system far colder than ours. Nature Astronomy.
