Oh awesome, that's enough for context. Thanks so much! Now that I flip through it, it looks like there might be poems with the drawings because of the formatting.

Can anyone read Russian?

And once again, the author describes radio observations as listening to sounds rather than collecting light. I’ll be dying on this hill till the heat death of the universe. 🫠

So hilariously, I should have read this before posting because the author clearly didn’t take the time to understand radio astronomy lol.

This is one of the most obtuse descriptions I’ve ever read. It’s like words are close to right but as a whole it’s a bit off target. 😂

Also this book which I could definitely use. I'll take all the help I can get with relativity, thank you very much. 😂

📡 My very first radio dish on the front page of today’s @sfchronicle.com! SWOON.

I don’t even know if I have any photos from my day by the dish as I’m old enough that we didn’t have pocket cameras when we went running. 😅
