New VLBI outreach site

Explaining VLBI to non-experts can be quite a challenge, as we all know. AuScope, in collaboration with Geoscience Australia and the University of Tasmania, has worked with David Schunck and Lucia McCallum to create a new site, https://vlbi.auscope.org.au, that provides lots of answers to questions about the nature and purpose of VLBI, along with helpful illustrations.

Please visit https://vlbi.auscope.org.au—and thanks to them for sharing this link.
