BBC coverage of GOTO project
A BBC film crew visited the GOTO
telescope site on La Palma back in March, and after some delay their story is now available.
Pallab Ghosh's story covers
the physics of binary neutron star collisions and describes how GOTO is
designed to capture the short-lived optical counterparts of these
events.
The story was accompanied by a veritable flood of related coverage, linked below:
- BBC News at One coverage, via iPlayer (UK only)
- BBC News' Cosmic Hunters: Searching Space
- U. Leicester press release
- Turku U. press release (also in Finnish)
- Monash U. press release
- Portsmouth U. press release
- Sheffield U. press release
- Space.com
- Farm Week (no, seriously)
- RRR's Einstein-a-go-go radio show
... as well as coverage in the Belfast Telegraph and Australian Sky & Telescope. Wonderful to see such interest in our project!
