Radio Astronomy at Potts Hill |
Potts Hill in Sydney was the site of 11
radio astronomy telescopes, including a synthesis telescope (32 x 1.8-m dishes
operating at 1420 MHz) to observe the solar corona in the early 1950s. The
first six minutes of this video -
"CSIRO Division of
Radiophysics in 1949" - highlight the radio astronomy investigations
and innovations during those times.
