The Murchison Radio-astronomy Observatory is located on Wajarri Yamaji
land about 700km north-east from Perth, in a legislated Radio Quiet
Zone. It is now possible to take a
virtual tour of the site, with
fully interactive 360-degree panoramas. Among the points of interest
are the 36 radio-telescope dishes that make up ASKAP, the Murchison
Widefield Array, the solar farm and lithium-ion battery, and the MRO
Control Building. Data from Murchison is transmitted to the Pawsey
Supercomputing Facility in Perth – also part of the virtual tour.
