Reply to comment by Andromeda321 in Gaia discovers a new family of black holes: astronomers studied the orbits of stars and noticed that some of them wobbled on the sky, as if they were gravitationally influenced by massive objects. No light could be found using several telescopes, leaving only one possibility: black holes. by Andromeda321

Congratulations on this exciting discovery, and thank you for sharing!

How did MeerKAT admin respond when they heard about what you observed?

Hah, can't say we told them. That's not common when using telescopes.

Dude, if I was a technician, I would love to know the results of my work!

And it’s literally named meerkat. They are standing up at attention, waiting for interesting things to happen.

Haha, don't worry, well when we apply in May for normal time, they get an update on what all happened to the data we asked for in the previous year. Guess they'll hear then!
