| The birthplace of Australian Radio Astronomy |
|
The 75th anniversary of radio astronomy in Australia
was celebrated in October 2020.
Equipment which had been installed at the Collaroy Plateau air and sea defence radar station during
World War II was used
to detect intense radio emission from the Sun.
The indefatigable Hastings Pawsey, who was the driving force behind
the monument at Collaroy Plateau recognising the significance of the site,
has now arranged for google maps to also celebrate this historical landmark,
as illustrated above.
As tomorrow is a public holiday in Australia, then next ADAP will be January 27th. |
