There’s a fun movie about this particular antenna, starring Sam Neill (from another famous historic movie, Jurassic Park).

Worth a watch.



I agree it's a good watch, however they're different antennas.

The radio telescope at Parkes was built prior to DSS-43 that is the article's subject, they're located approx. 4 hours drive apart.


No, that was about the dish at Parkes, this is about the Tidbinbilla dish, near Canberra.


Not necessarily related, but it’s a fantastic Aussie film nonetheless.


Cable Guy flashbacks, anyone? :P
