Hurray, it is our birthday! Today, 75 years ago ASTRON's predecessor, SRZM was founded. Preparations for our birthday party are underway and later this day we will celebrate this milestone! astron.nl/dailyimage/mai… #anniversary #birthday #radioastronomy #highlights

@PatrickSchelvis @NS_online Probeer het met Safari op je telefoon. Wij hadden hetzelfde probleem op de computer eerder deze week.

Gert Kruithof of @ASTRON_NL has done a full and extensive analysis of the carbon footprint of building and operating @LOFAR. It’s a lot, especially when you include the number of person years taken over a decade to build the telescope.

Today, construction on the #SKA radio telescope officially started. Together with @CGI_Global, S[&]T, and @TriOpSys we are already developing important software components for processing the vast amounts of data the SKA telescope will produce. astron.nl/astron-led-con…

Today was the official start of the construction of the @SKAO's #SKA radio telescope in Australia and South Africa. Together with #TOPIC, we are already working on the development of the central signal processor for the SKA Low frequency telescope. astron.nl/topic-led-cons…

Vandaag starten de bouwactiviteiten voor de SKA-radiotelescoop. We zijn trots om een van de oprichters te zijn en ik ben blij dat we met onze kennis bijdragen aan dit imposante internationale project. De radiotelescoop kan fundamentele vragen over het heelal helpen beantwoorden.

@AstroJoeC @JohnstonHollitt In Dutch the term is “apenrots” - where the monkeys in a zoo reside. The dominant male lives atop the apenrots.

@JohnstonHollitt I have been meaning to ask some Dutch friends haha

New article from the @volkskrant detailing some of the systematic abuses towards woman in astronomy in light of the Tim de Zeeuw case. Incredibly brave of @astroTui and @JohnstonHollitt detailing the terrible behaviour they have experienced in astronomy. volkskrant.nl/wetenschap/het…

Our observatory in WA has been gifted a Wajarri name! 📡 Inyarrimanha Ilgari Bundara, CSIRO's Murchison Radio-astronomy Observatory. This dual name means 'sharing sky and stars' and represents the Wajarri Yamaji's long connection to Country as the region's first astronomers. ⭐️

Zonder noodhulp kan @LOFAR in Drenthe de stroomrekening niet meer betalen, nu de energiekosten van de radiotelescoop in korte tijd zijn verdriedubbeld. @ASTRON_NL deingenieur.nl/artikel/stroom…

Together with @OudeSterrewacht and @SKAO, we have brought Shared Sky to the Netherlands. Visit the #art exhibit in Leiden and learn how #Aboriginal and South #African #artists look at the sky. universiteitleiden.nl/oudesterrewach…

Nice to see two Dutch stamps featured here… with @LOFAR by @ASTRON_NL and the SKA_Low site with the #ASKAP dishes @CSIRO_ATNF

"NL have always believed in @SKAO. We have been involved from early on and were the first to ratify the Convention in 2019. Our strong involvement and commitment will continue for the coming years." -Ellen Ipenburg Tomesen of @MinOCW & SKAO Council representative for Dutch gov.

"Our astronomers are eagerly awaiting the first results and Dutch companies will, over the next few months, start to receive orders to deliver the software and hardware needed to complete #SKA by the end of the decade." - Michiel van Haarlem head Dutch SKA office @ASTRON_NL

Green light for building the world's largest radio telescope SKA Observatory @SKAO! As the lead of the Dutch contribution to the construction, we are so proud and excited! 🤩bit.ly/3AdzMjN

Important step for SKA. Great news!

The Republic of Italy joins the JIVE ERIC !! We warmly welcome our newest member, regular participant in the #EuropeanVLBINetwork with the radio telescopes in Medicina, Noto and more recently Sardinia, and supporter of @jivevlbi for several decades. jive.eu/italy-joins-ji…

Great! We have launched the 1st #ESCAPE #ESFRI #ParticlePhysics #Astronomy #Science Analysis Platform prototype. It currently allows #DataDiscovery #DataStaging of the @IVOAastro @the_zooniverse @ASTRON_NL Apertif @LOFAR #DataCatalogues. Try it Now: projectescape.eu/news/launch-in…
