Nobody: Me: Here's separation of the Queqiao relay satellite from its Long March 4C launcher before heading beyond the Moon back in May 2018, as part of the Chang'e-4 lunar far side landing mission.

In @RadioKunststof: @SaarSlegers over haar nieuwe podcast 'De man en de Maan'. Hierin volgt ze sterrenkundige Marc Klein Wolt die wil laten zien wat er gebeurde in de periode net na de oerknal. Hiervoor moet hij naar de achterkant van de maan, waar nog nooit iemand is geweest:

Nu heeft Nederland zijn eigen radiosterrenwacht in de ruimte - achter de maan! Bedacht en gebouwd hier op de @Radboud_Uni en zamen met @astron @isis_space. Ben benieuwd op de eerste metingen. Trots op onze groep en het @RadRadioLab.
Nederlandse antennes uitgerold achter de maan. Chinezen dopen satelliet om tot radio-observatorium. Marc Klein Wolt (@MarcWolt, @RadRadioLab): "De maannacht is nu van ons." astronomie.nl/nieuws/nederla…

We are so proud, not only of this success which marks the start of our science observations, but also because as of now we are an official radio astronomical observatory in space! #NCLE @RadRadioLab @isis_space @ASTRON_NL
The three 5-metre-long antennae of the Netherlands-China Low-Frequency Explorer aboard the Queqiao relay satellite for the Chang'e-4 mission have been fully extended. These could eventually seek to detect signals from the cosmic Dark Ages. mp.weixin.qq.com/s/PVjHTqNzV…

Indeed, our instrument #NCLE is now in space for one year, and we are in the middle of the commissioning phase. I still remember the launch, my first to witness live in China! @RadRadioLab @isis_space @ASTRON_NL – at Haarlem, Nederland
A year ago today saw the launch of the Queqiao ('Magpie bridge') relay satellite from Xichang; a necessary precursor to the Chang'e-4 lunar far side landing.

This is M87* and this the first image of a black hole! Mass is 6.5 Billion suns within size of a solar system. Precious because real. Waited 25 years for this. Dark shadow is where light disappears in #eventhorizon. We see something never seen before. #blackhole #JustWow #EHT

Hello, this is our first tweet! The Africa Millimetre Telescope, or AMT @africa_mm_tel, project aims to place a radio telescope on the Gamsberg Mountain in Namibia. The AMT will be a radio telescope sensitive in the mm-wave regime, hence the name 😉
