It got a bit lost with everything else going on this week, but my (high school!) research student, Jack, has been working with me on building a low-cost home radio telescope to map Galactic 21 cm features, and his tutorial for others to do the same is now up on arXiv:

Galactic Neutral Hydrogen Structures Spectroscopy and Kinematics: Designing a Home Radio Telescope for 21 cm Emission
This study presents the methodology for creating a cost-efficient radio astronomy telescope that can be used to detect 21 cm emissions (1420.405 MHz) and determine the distribution and kinematics of neutral hydrogen specifically in the Milky Way.arXiv.org
"The moment of discovery" does not always exist: the scientist's work is too tenuous, too divided, for the certainty of success to crackle out suddenly in the midst of his laborious toil like a stroke of lightening, dazzling him by its fire.
Marie Curie was born #OTD in 1867.
The Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP) at CU Boulder is hiring a Data Systems Team Lead. The role is primarily a technical project management role. Experience with NASA projects is a plus.
Italian physicist and academic, first woman to have doctorate in science Laura Bassi was born #OTD in 1711. Bassi became the most important populariser of Newtonian mechanics in Italy.
