GLEAM Timelapse (with Narration) (VIDEO)

International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research

Caption

Narrated by Dr. Natasha Hurley-Walker, this unique timelapse movie shows the sky above a "tile" of the Murchison Widefield Array radio telescope, located in outback Western Australia. The "normal" optical sky transitions to a view of the sky at radio wavelengths. The Milky Way is visible as a band across the sky and the dots beyond are some of the 300,000 galaxies observed by the telescope for the GLEAM survey.
