Australia starts giant cross radio telescope at Hoskinstown
Australian scientists announce the giant cross shaped radio telescope near Bungendore begins operation this week. Dr Re O Y Mills of Sydney University says the mile long east west arm is finished with adjustments underway and the north south arm will be completed later. The meridian transit instrument could detect galactic and extragalactic radio signals, though it may be too far north for local research. Mills rejects Russian claims of a possible space civilization, calling it ludicrous.
