Master the Art of Wok Cooking for Out-of-this-World Flavors

TL;DR Summary
Researchers have discovered that a round-bottomed wok can be repurposed into a functional radio telescope for capturing radio waves emitted by the heart of our galaxy. By adding a dipole antenna, balun, and plastic tubing to support the antenna at the focal point of the wok, along with a preamp and filter, the wok telescope was able to measure the recession velocity of neutral hydrogen with impressive accuracy. This DIY project offers an accessible and cost-effective way for enthusiasts to explore radio astronomy.
