This article describes a method to turn astronomical imaging into a random number generator by using the positions of incident cosmic rays and hot pixels to generate bit streams. We subject the resultant bit streams to a battery of standard benchmark statistical tests for randomness and show that these bit streams are statistically the same as a perfect random bit stream. Strategies for improving and building upon this method are outlined.

Unlocking the hidden potential of pulsar astronomy
This review and feasibility study shows that compact radio receivers can detect bright pulsars for navigation, timing, randomness, and space weather applications, with a 4-meter dish potentially achieving 10 km self-l...
