Nice article about our fantastic telescopes here in Australia.
Normally, the only telescope that can communicate with Voyager 2 is DSS43 at the Canberra Deep Space Network, but when they're busy, Murriyang (Parkes radio telescope) steps in.
Jane Kaczmarek & John Sarkissian are awesome people.

Voyager 2 was launched 48 years ago today. Amazingly, the little spacecraft -- now some 20 billion km distant -- still phones home. Recently I visited the Parkes radio telescope ("the Dish") in #Australia as the call came in, and wrote about it for @wired.com: #space

Inside the control room as Voyager 2 made its historic call from interstellar space
Earlier this week, Voyager 2 became the second craft to venture into interstellar space. In Australia, a small team are listening for its distant calls

Anyone else find it so friggen neat that the most longest distant communications, ever made in the history of life in this Universe (as we know it so far), is made in the Aussie backyard?
DSS43 is the only antenna that can talk to Voyager2.
And its happening from Tidbinbilla, ACT. 📡🔭

Later in the day, a beautiful #SunDog and #SolarHalo. The arc off the nearly complete 22° halo is known as a #ParhelicCircle. The rainbow colour of the 22° parhelia or sundog was much brighter to the eye than in this photo. #DSS43 #weather

Both Canberra and Madrid antenna will be covering the @NASAJuno Perijove number 71 coming up in around 5 hours. Canberra's DSS43 (shown) and 35 are covering approach and occultation, Madrid's DSS63 and 53 the occultation and departure. 70m-X Band. 34BWG X,Ka (Radio Science)

Happy 51st B'day to Deep Space Station 43 (DSS43)! 📡
One of my fav antennas, and at 70m diameter, the largest steerable antenna in the Southern Hemisphere, located at @canberradsn.bsky.social
DSS43 keeps in touch with super important missions like Voyager2, only acquirable from this station! 🔭

On a foggy morning @CanberraDSN, Deep Space Station 43, standing about 73-metres above the valley floor, catches the first rays of sunlight.
A fog bow formed as well, adding to the winter scene. -2°C to start the day.

Cosmic Fast Radio Bursts (FRB) were first discovered at the
@CSIRO_ATNF Parkes Radio Telescope in 2007. The international Radio Astronomy community is now racing to uncover what causes these brief and powerful events. The DSN is involved with DSS43 in Canberra currently supporting.

Tracking the Apollo 17 mission in December 1972 even before its official opening #OTD 13th April 1973, #DSS43 has supported 100s of robotic missions exploring the Solar System and beyond.

I often go for a walk around the complex to get my steps up. Today I found myself with a big grin on the face. Perfect temperature, slight cooling breeze on the back, smell of freshly cut grass, great views and fluffy clouds... and NO FLIES!! DSS43 on Voyager 2, DSS34 on TESS.

What a great day for interesting #phenomena at our deep space tracking station.
First off, the Sun warming the back of our big dish, Deep Space Station 43, and evaporating the morning frost, creating a column of mist. 📡☀️🌫️
