On a foggy morning @CanberraDSN, Deep Space Station 43, standing about 73-metres above the valley floor, catches the first rays of sunlight.
A fog bow formed as well, adding to the winter scene. -2°C to start the day.

A giant white antenna dish is lit from below. Buildings in the background reflect orange lights. The background is a scene at night with distant hills and a cloudy sky. In the left foreground are the bare branches of a tree.

Day or night, it’s a beautiful sight.

Met behulp van de signalen ontvangen van #BepiColombo op twee ver uit elkaar liggende antennes, #DSS43 Canberra and #DSS26 Goldstone, USA,
en de radiobron van een verre quasar (in dit geval B2 0745+24), kan de positie va het ruimtevaartuig nauwkeurig worden gemeten.

Fain I fathom your purpose specific
Loftily poised in the ether capacious

Later in the day, a beautiful #SunDog and #SolarHalo. The arc off the nearly complete 22° halo is known as a #ParhelicCircle. The rainbow colour of the 22° parhelia or sundog was much brighter to the eye than in this photo. #DSS43 #weather

What a great day for interesting #phenomena at our deep space tracking station.
First off, the Sun warming the back of our big dish, Deep Space Station 43, and evaporating the morning frost, creating a column of mist. 📡☀️🌫️

Wispy white clouds floating tendril-like above a tall white deep space antenna dish. A crescent Moon appears near a thin cloud on the right. A brilliant blue sky and low hills are in the background.
