An explanation of how a radio telescope works, and how two or more radio aerials may be linked together as an "interferometer" to pinpoint more precisely the area from which radio signals are coming.
Several interferometers constructed in Australia between 1946 and 1958 are shown, including the Mills Cross. Their contribution to man's knowledge of radio stars, sunspots, and the extent of our own galaxy, is outlined.
I love this video! Can I download it on my iPod, old documentaries put me to sleep (in a good way, not because they bore me!) Also, did you work for the company that made this video? You just seem to have alot of stuff from the came company. If so, what exactly did the company do? It has alot of eduicational stuff, but seems broad spectrum (pardon the radio aastronomy pun)
