📡 ESO has signed a contract with France's CNRS to develop a wideband intermediate frequency processor (WIFP) for ALMA. It will digitise the receiver signal from each of the 66 antennas at 40 billion samples per second — ten times today's rate. ESO says the throughput gain is like adding six antennas. Due mid-2028.

🌠 The September ε Perseids produced a short outburst on 10 Sep 2026: ZHR ~73 near 06:22 UT, with unusually bright meteors (population index r≈2.0 instead of 2.5). Visual counts were confirmed by radio data and the Global Meteor Network (CBET 5736, peak 06:33 UT). Amateur networks verifying a model prediction.

Friends!
I've got a very neat new science paper out and will post an article about it tomorrow!
It's the second paper from my PhD and something we've never seen before (a discovery of sorts!)
Watch this space tomorrow for the #SpaceAustralia feature article

🛰️ Starlink's Signal Leakage Is Threatening Radio Astronomy's Most Critical Frequencies
- Starlink satellites emit unintended signals 10,000 times stronger than target cosmic signals.
- Researchers detected 112,534 Starlink emissions contaminating ITU-protected radio astronomy frequency bands.
- Current ITU regulations ignore unintended satellite hardware leakage, leaving astronomers without legal protection
