50th Anniversary of Transatlantic Very Long Baseline Interferometry

This week we mark 50 years since the first transatlantic very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) experiment. In April 1968, a historic event took place involving MIT Haystack Observatory in Westford, Massachusetts, and its counterpart at Onsala Space Observatory in Onsala, Sweden: the first transatlantic geodetic very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) observations.
