Update. Another good example of reusing older #data for a new purpose. Aerial mapping photos of Antarctica taken by the Navy in the 1960s, and then lost, help reconstruct the collapse of glaciers.

Update. Here's a great example of reusing older #data, this time for the original purpose. Scientists retrieved unpublished data from the 1977 "Wow!" signal captured by the #Arecibo radio telescope as part of the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (#SETI), reanalyzed it with modern tools, and improved our understanding of where it came from and what might have caused it. * primary source https://arxiv.org/abs/2508.10657 * summary https://phys.org/news/2025-08-wow-stronger-thought.html #Reuse
