FAST radio telescope achieves first light

The LIGO spokesperson helped present a discovery produced by a large international collaboration.

The publication examines how celestial motion, songlines and landscape knowledge support travel and orientation.

Routes can be encoded through sequences of places, stories and sky references rather than written charts.

Eclipses, meteors and other striking phenomena may be remembered through narratives that preserve observational details.

The review argues that Indigenous knowledge should be engaged respectfully in teaching rather than appended as folklore.

FAST began its commissioning phase after construction in a karst depression.

The instrument’s great collecting area promised sensitivity to faint radio sources.

First light marked a milestone for the observatory built by Chinese scientific teams.

LIGO and Virgo detected a signal from two merging neutron stars.

The merger was also observed with electromagnetic instruments, launching a coordinated campaign.
