We’ve just finished a PULSE@Parkes observing session at the Victorian Space Science Education Centre, VSSEC. Students from Strathmore Secondary College, Footscray City Secondary College and Braemar College controlled the iconic 64m Parkes radio telescope remotely from Melbourne to observe pulsars.
As a first this session was broadcast live via twitter (@PULSEatParkes) to followers around the world.
Here is the media release. I’ll put more details up soon.
