The CSIRO Parkes Radio Telescope.


Today we went to see the dish at Parkes. We went in the museum and I learnt so much. Mum took a photo of us in front of the dish and we look like specks! The dish finds small stars in the milky way. Then it makes a noise each time the star rotates and depening on how fast the noise is, is how large or small the star is. The small stars rotate faster so their sound is more constant.
