  What an awesome story. Not too many stories about Aussies out there, but what Han brothers are doing with Unsloth in AI, and stories like this one, makes this fellow Aussie super proud!

  Is the telescope design available anywhere for hobbyists to build? I can't seem to find anything in the article or in a separate search. I'd be interested in perhaps putting one of these together to do radio astronomy with my kids.

    Search on “diy radio telescope”, that gave me lots of projects and videos

  I would have been all over this if we had one of these when I was in school. Very cool project.

    Honestly at $500 I still want one. I’d love to see the design open sourced!

    The vast majority of these kinds of stories are complete bunk.

      Regardless of its bunk coefficient this is still exciting and inspiring, especially for students or low resourced people.

      Why? What do you mean by “bunk?” Do you have any examples you can point to?
