Your on a Good Thing [TM] when the first trial you run yields "too much" [1] good data :)

**Cosmic Fast Bursts**

January 28, 2025

The first trial of an Australian-developed technology has detected mysterious objects by sifting through signals from space like sand on a beach.

“That’s the equivalent of sifting through a whole beach of sand to look for a single five-cent coin every minute,”

“We’re also detecting long-period transients, which remain mysterious objects within our galaxy. Both fast radio bursts and these transients were first discovered in Australia, so it is great that we’re continuing the path of discovery with this impressive technology,” Dr Wang said.

Incredible what expertise in #ImageProcessing, #DataReduction, and #SoftwareDevelopment can get you.

Recognise the initial #JWST image on the left? Check out the faint light in the newly processed image on the right, created by @aaron and the #ICRAR JWST team!
