It's not too late to help defray our former curator's costs! She'll be giving a talk for us about the experience sometime in the summer. Congratulations @mambolica.bsky.social !

We're also into art that references radio-astronomy. We're intersectional like that.

Have we mentioned we're kinda into radio-astronomy, too? Happy Katie Bouman Day. May we all be as happy today as Katie was in this moment. #radiowaves #radar #history

Oh yeah, by then there will be way more stuff coming through! Things to watch for include raptors (day migrants) dropping down to roost, while songbirds (night migrants) may take off during totality. Cornell has birders set to make a set series of observations before, during, and after the eclipse.

This thing is still dang cool.

It's that time of year! Did you know migrating birds (and insects) get picked up on radar? In Canada, we've been studying migratory bird flight patterns with radar since the 1950s.

Check out our rad new radar demonstration unit! www.instagram.com/p/C3iQ3dYMFr...

We Remember Them.

We Remember Them.

We know it! Thanks for visiting us today!

We've had this radar unit for almost a decade, and only tonight, after someone prematurely turned out the lights, did we discover its auxiliary radar scope has a phosphor glow! Should we do a video about phosphor? Let us know! #radar #glowinthedark #phosphorescence #avionics #wwii #howcoolisthat

It's Airshow London (Ontario) weekend. Every year, we try to persuade the Snowbirds (or other visiting air crew) to come visit us, but we haven't prevailed, yet. We're just not on their radar. *drum fill*

You can learn more about us in several places, secretsofradar.com, for instance, and Facebook is also a good place to find us. We're more likely to update our FB than our website, tbh.

Oh, hi there! We're the coolest little museum you've never visited and we're happy to be on Bluesky! We are in London, ON, but we were founded by veterans to tell a huge, international story about secrecy and co-operation by the Canadians with the British and Americans during the Second World War.
