Guarantee access to broadcast TV (Freeview) and aerial radio beyond 2040

Government must guarantee access to Freeview and aerial radio beyond 2040. Unless the Government takes such action ahead of the World #Radiocommunication Conference in November 2023 the spectrum of frequency allocated to Digital #Terrestrial TV (Freeview) may be lost and the services disbanded

A #terrestrial demonstration of why it's just about impossible to see the #Moon's surface and #stars simultaneously. Tonight the Moon and #Jupiter (a wandering star or #planet) are in #conjunction -- well just about. And here are two images taken with two different #exposure time.

The first is with a #ShutterSpeed of 1/6 s. The lit part of the Moon is a white featureless blob but, because it's a #misty #night, there's a wonderful #ice #halo which shows #colours from the #VisibleSpectrum. You can see Jupiter directly above.

Next, with a shutter speed of 1/100 s, the #surface of the Moon shows much more contrast but you can barely see Jupiter. Also, the #fog is also invisible.
