Great news! Our 70-metre dish, Deep Space Station 43, has detected a carrier signal from @NASAVoyager 2. Next up, we’ll transmit commands in an attempt to realign the spacecraft’s antenna with Earth. #DSS43 #Voyager2

Earth to Voyager... 📡
The Deep Space Network has picked up a carrier signal from @NASAVoyager 2 during its regular scan of the sky. A bit like hearing the spacecraft's “heartbeat," it confirms the spacecraft is still broadcasting, which engineers expected.

Nothing Compares 2 U. Heart broken hearing the news of the passing of Sinéad O’Connor, such an inspiration

I think you are right Mary. Look at the Atlantic - it should be average to cooler there in an El Niño, not warm. Western Pacific also warm. The atmosphere isn’t getting a warm ‘kick’ from one place, like it normally does in El Niño, but instead is being kicked from everywhere! – at Melbourne, Victoria

Our @VicGovDTP is planning a new style of bus network with higher frequency and better connections to give more freedom and choice. Unscrambling bus routes to make them more direct means journeys will be faster, more frequent and more reliable. More at engage.vic.gov.au/busreform – at Melbourne, Victoria

Fire in Brunswick East at the posh car wash on Brunswick Road. 11 firefighting units have contained it, a chemically-smoke haze in the area. Going to be hot today - stay safe! #TheBrunx

TAISHAN, CHINA NUCLEAR EVENT THREAD
I'll update this with what we know and what we're learning.
First: this isn't a public health risk. Appears to be a fairly typical nuclear plant event caused by one or more fuel bundles leaking fission products into the core cooling water.
US officials are assessing a report of a leak at a Chinese nuclear power plant but don't yet think the facility is at crisis level, US sources say cnn.it/3iKjclz

A Melbourne primary school has banned car drop-offs and pick-ups. Its 440 children have been given a choice of walking, riding, scooting or skating. Parents can also drive part-way to school and let their children walk the final stretch theage.com.au/national/victo…

The Greens are wrong to oppose the EV travel-based tax. It lowers demand for driving, makes public transport more competitive with cars, protects public revenue, and provides a mechanism to manage congestion without resort to building motorways teapawt.net/ellensandell/status/13…
This electric cars tax is not a good idea, and we’ll be opposing it. We call on the Opposition and other crossbenchers to join us. theguardian.com/environment/… #springst
