Team sent to Antarctica to measure ice shelf stability - MIT Haystack Observatory Radio science & technology research center

In Antarctica right now, a Haystack team is preparing 3 SGIPs (seismo-geodetic ice penetrators) to land on the Ross Ice Shelf and monitor ice melting and movement.

The SGIP devices will be dropped by helicopters and embedded into the ice: more at www.haystack.mit.edu/news/team-se... polar #geodesy

β€ŽBlack Hole Vision β€ŽWhat would the world around you look like if you were staring at a black hole? This application places a black hole in the field of view of your iPhone’s camera and gravitationally

What would the world around you look like if you were staring at a black hole? To see it, check out ``Black Hole Vision'', an iPhone app simulating a black hole in your iPhone camera! The app has been developed by Black Hole Explorer (BHEX) scientists.

We had a great time hosting the #NSF #SpectrumX workshop, including students and staff from institutions across the country! Spectrum management: more important now than ever.

Thank you for a productive visitβ€”looking forward to getting this new technology out in the field with you! #radioastronomy
